Today is National – a time to celebrate the power of inclusion.

Every week, our members, coaches, parents, carers and volunteers show that no barrier is too great. From bouncing a ball for the first time to training as a coach, every achievement is Powered by You.

💙 To our DSC community: thank you for showing up, breaking barriers, and proving what true strength looks like.

What a weekend!

We were thrilled to join the Big Sports Day from Merton Council - the biggest event of its kind in southwest London. We joined dozens of local sports clubs, coaches and organisations to inspire residents of all ages and abilities to discover new ways to stay active.

Our wonderful coaches Debbie and Rodney delivered hoop games, target games and hockey to an incredible 300 people on the day. Debbie also got to meet a Womble courtesy of Wimbledon!

That's 300 more children, young people, parents and carers who now know how to make sport inclusive and accessible for all - and that makes us feel proud.

As our wonderful Coach Temi says, 'I can be myself and not worry about if I have a disability. I just want to embrace it.'

Earlier this month, our coaches and volunteers came together for our Coach and Volunteer Summer Social.

It was more than just a picnic - alongside the chance to catch up with the DSC team and each other, the afternoon featured fun adapted games and activities that doubled as professional development. By sharing ideas and learning from one another, our team is sharpening their skills to make sure our members enjoy an even better experience when our Community Clubs return in September.

Marie Kasambalis, our Workforce Officer, said: "It was brilliant to see our coaches and volunteers learning in such a relaxed and enjoyable setting. The games sparked great conversations about how we can adapt activities to suit different needs, and everyone left with new ideas to bring to their sessions."

A huge thank you to our dedicated coaches and volunteers who go the extra mile - even during the summer break - to keep inclusion at the heart of everything we do.

We were pleased to join Wandsworth Council and AccessAble to launch new Detailed Access Guides for over 150 local venues - from libraries and leisure centres to theatres and community spaces.

These guides give disabled people clear, practical information to help plan visits with confidence - including step-free access, accessible toilets, parking, and even 360-degree photos.

Kemi Akinola, Deputy Leader of Wandsworth Council, said: “We are proud to have commissioned AccessAble to create these guides to make Wandsworth a more accessible and welcoming place for everyone - especially as we celebrate our year as London Borough of Culture 2025. These guides remove uncertainty and empower people to make informed choices about where they go and how they get there.”

Amardeep Gill, Head of Fundraising and Communications at Disability Sports Coach, said: “The AccessAble guides are a fantastic initiative to help break down barriers for disabled people to feel part of the local community.”

We’d like to see this resource grow. Which other venues or public spaces in Wandsworth should be added next?

After three impactful years, our partnership with Team London Bridge has come to a close - and what a difference it’s made.

Thanks to support from the Building Bridges Fund, we’ve been able to grow our Community Club in Southwark into a safe, welcoming space where disabled people can build confidence, friendships and active lifestyles.

We’ve tackled loneliness through sport. We’ve seen members thrive. And we’ve been proud to involve local people in making it all happen - like Gracia, a dedicated volunteer whose seven-year journey with the club continues to inspire others.

Gracia is autistic and joined Team London Bridge's celebratory event to share her experiences of what makes Club Southwark so special.

Our thanks to Team London Bridge for believing in the power of inclusive sport. We’re proud of all we’ve achieved together - and we’re not stopping here.

🎉What a moment for women’s football!

England’s win at the European Championship is a reminder of what’s possible when inclusion is prioritised, investment is made, and opportunity is opened up.

It wasn’t long ago that girls and women were shut out of football. The team’s triumph shows the power of visibility, representation and giving everyone the chance to shine.

At Disability Sports Coach, we believe the same should apply to disabled people - in football and far beyond it. That’s why we create inclusive spaces where disabled people can lead, coach, compete and belong.

Sport should be for everyone.
