This has been a good way of promoting the club but also, showing positively what can be achieved even with a disability. We also now provide 1 and a quarter hour of a swimming training session every week for young and old who have a disability. We attend swimming Galas nationally at Special Olympics level with the group at the moment. We are hoping to widen their scope by registering with England Swim, hopefully this will be completed in 2025. ## **Additional details of objectives and activities (Optional information)** Our fundraising volunteer has been working hard even though she was expecting her first baby.

Every competition we have attended this year we have come away with medals. We have also gained top of the leaderboard for League 2 of the West Yorkshire Track and Field League. We have over 30 athletes on our books and 15 swimmers. This is encouraging athletes to do more than one physical exercise a week. This is encouraging other potential athletes to get involved. We are the largest Athletics Group in Yorkshire. We sent the largest swimming team to the last gala, which was in Beverley. We have encouraged 2 athletes to take up a coaching certificate, they hope to do this at the beginning of next year. Recognition for all athletes’ achievements in the form of an annual presentation and in announcements on the group chat and at training, where appropriate. Also, recognition at the Bradford Sports Awards for the Best Team and Best Female Junior Athlete with Disabilities. The Trustees are actively involved in the club, this is because their children are involved in athletics but it also means that they have a better understanding of what the club needs and of the challenges that many people with disabilities face on a day to day basis.
