ExPro Sports Foundation is a small, registered charity that provides sport and physical activities for disabled children across Nottinghamshire. We offer a comprehensive range of fun, exciting, and innovative sports- based activities for boys and girls aged 8-24with the focus of keeping disabled young people active, engaged, fit and helathy. ExPro Sports Foundation exists to capture the passion and commitment of families in the community who need support and to ensure that disabled young people have access to sport and physical activities no matter what their disability. We wanted to provide access to sport because we identified that there was a distinct |
| lack of provision in sport for people with disabilities across the country as a whole. We provide a safe and professional environment where children with a range of disabilities can try a wide range of sports, learn about the fundamental skills and rules required within different sports and develop their skills further. Wes support children who have many different physical and learning disabilities, working in small groups to help develop young people increase their skill and knowledge. |
