Congratulations Danielle Joyce (19) who has scooped the prestigious Scottish Women in Sport Sportswoman of the Year 2015 beating off GB Olympic athletes Lindsey Sharp and Laura Muir as well as Wheelchair racer Samantha  Kinghorn in the shortlist of finalists.

DEAFinitely Inclusive Accreditation Scheme

16/11/2015

0 Comments

 
DEAFinitely Inclusive objective:
The new DEAFinitely Inclusive accreditation scheme aims to increase the number of deaf people playing, coaching and volunteering in sport by working directly with sport providers. The scheme is open to sports clubs and leisure facilities, and will support them to be more deaf inclusive in their delivery of sporting opportunities.
Organisations that take up the scheme will work with UK Deaf Sport to improve the access and provision of sporting opportunities for deaf people at their club or facility.  On completion organisations will be given accredited status as a DEAFinitely Inclusive club or facility, and be awarded the new quality kite mark.  
 
The DEAFinitely Inclusive accreditation scheme and quality kite mark is the latest addition to UK Deaf Sport’s community programme and is supported by Sport England’s Inclusive Sport Fund.

The competition will take place on Saturday 19th March at Nottingham University. Training will be held on Friday 18th and Sunday 20th. the NDCS will hold their gala on the morning of 19th March and it is hoped our swimmers will attend to support this and the children from the NDCS event will remain to see our championships. The event this year will be short course to coincide with the possibility of the 1st European short course championships being held later next year. Further details will follow.
