The S.A.N.D (See the Ability Not the
Disability) Sports club has been successful with a two-year
grant from Children In Need. This has enabled the fourth Sports
Festivals, which will take place on Saturday the 13th of
September 2008, at Bircotes Leisure centre. 40 young people between
the ages of 5 and 16 years are expected to attended the day and
enjoy a variety of sports from Cheer Leading, Archery, Non Contact
boxing, swimming and Arts and Crafts these sessions are facilitated
by sports development with the event also being supported by
volunteers, C.S.L and H.S.L. students. Twelve qualified coaches
will be on hand through out the day to ensure participants have a
worthwhile sporting experience. The sand promotes the benefit of
exercise and opportunities for young people with disabilities. If
