Inclusive Skating are currently implementing our development plan and there are several exciting activities currently taking place.
The Scottish Inclusive Skating International Championships 2020 are being held at Coatbridge on 17th April 2020, and more information can be found here: https://inclusiveskating.org/events
A quiet session is available every week at Braehead Arena with an online booking system (link below), held every Wednesday from 5pm to 6.30pm. This session is suitable for those who would like to skate but need a quiet session and a bit more help. Inclusive Skating volunteers are available but more are always welcome. The online price is £7.50 per skater and carer saving £1.00.

The Inclusive Skating Safety Accredited Advisor on line course is available free for members of Inclusive Skating as part of our volunteer development program.

We are particularly interested in expanding the number of volunteers taking the safety course because we hope to make inclusive skating activities available throughout Scotland. Our courses are online and activities in the future will include ice skating and in line skating that does not require an ice pad.
An Inclusive Skating Team will be travelling to Finland shortly to take part in the Santa Claus competition from Saturday 23 to 24th November.
Last, but by no means least, a team of four skaters, including Scots Jennifer Gibson and Jonathan Higgins (pictured), are competing in the Special Olympics Invitational Games in Sweden from 28th January to 5th February 2020.
