The new project will provide disabled Londoners with more opportunities to become involved and access training facilities. These are issues which are known to be barriers for disabled people and can prevent them taking up sport.

The scheme will provide participants with:

• free coaching training over a variety of 20 sports

• a personalised support package

• a mentor who will encourage them to complete their qualification and find employment will be provided for the participants of the scheme.
