Disability Sport Forums

Did you know there are several disability sport forums based within the County. These groups meet to discuss disability issues around sport, support and promote activities, opportunities and develop disability sport within their areas.

 

There are currently four groups:

• East Staffordshire - Able Too Forum
• Cannock - Sportability
• Newcastle - Sport & Culture For All
• Staffordshire Moorlands - Disability Sport Forum

These forums are always looking for people wishing to be involved and work to develop opportunities. If you are interested in being involved with one if the groups, please email Mark Fosbrook or call 01785 619398.

 

We are also currently looking to set up Disability Sport Forums within the remaining districts in the County. If you would like to be involved with establishing these groups please email Mark Fosbrook or call 01785 619398.
