Across the active leisure sector, there are small steps that all organisations can take to break down barriers and increase engagement with people with learning disabilities (LD). Worrying statistics illustrate that only 17.8% of disabled people take part in sport for 30 minutes once a week vs 39.2% of their able bodied counterparts. (Active People, June 2014). 


Sport for Confidence (SFC) is a programme for leisure facilities and their employees, to support people with LD to participate in mainstream sporting and leisure activities. This partnership approach sees healthcare professionals working directly with leisure facility staff; from trainers to receptionists; to make adjustments that create truly accessible sport & leisure opportunities.

Leisure Centre staff training covers everything from identifying individuals with LD, to successfully communicating, adapting activities and appropriately supporting those who may be vulnerable in mainstream situations. These small adjustments can dramatically increase the wellbeing of those receiving and delivering these life-enhancing opportunities to be active.

Four Everyone Active sites across Essex successfully deliver a weekly programme of SFC sport sessions. Now regularly driving 300+ unique visits to the leisure centre per month, SFC seeks to expand the framework with the ultimate aim of rolling out across the UK.
