MULTI-SPORT CLUB

MULTI-SPORT CLUB is a registered UK charity (charity number 1109962) that provides inclusive sports and recreational activities primarily for young people aged 16 and over with learning and/or physical disabilities. The club’s mission is to encourage participation in a diverse range of sports, promoting social inclusion, fun, fitness, coordination, and sports skills development in a supportive environment.

History and Purpose

Founded to address the needs of disabled young people seeking accessible sports opportunities outside of school or college settings, MULTI-SPORT CLUB offers year-round activities designed to be welcoming and inclusive. The club emphasizes enjoyment and social engagement, aiming to reduce barriers to participation by providing a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where all members can feel they belong.

Activities and Membership

The club organizes a variety of sporting and physical activities tailored to its members’ interests and abilities. New participants typically can attend their first session free of charge to encourage trial and engagement. Following this, a nominal fee is charged—currently £5 per hour for in-person sessions and £3 per hour for virtual sessions via Zoom. Annual family membership costs £12.
