Disability Sports Coach (DSC), 190 Great Dover Street, London (2026)

A feel-good Friday story 😊

Kenzie completed our Inclusive Activity Leaders (IAL) course last year, gaining free qualifications to become a sports coach. And since then, he's gone from strength to strength 💪

With his newfound knowledge, Kenzie is now volunteering as a PE assistant at a local primary school. Kenzie supports warm-ups, works with small groups of pupils, and helps set up and pack away equipment.

And recently, Kenzie joined our team at a careers fair in Kingston, South London. He spoke with college students about our Community Clubs, volunteering pathways and the IAL programme, sharing his own experiences and progress.

We've been running our IAL programme in partnership with Nike since 2022, training disabled people across London to begin new careers as sports coaches.

“IAL gave me the opportunity to become a PE assistant. That’s one of my proudest achievements that you helped me with. My next hope is to be a football coach.”

Kenzie's experience is just one of the reasons we've been shortlisted for the Enhancing the Sporting Workforce Award from London Sport - and why we won't ever stop breaking barriers.

📣 ANNOUNCEMENT 📣

We've been shortlisted for a London Sport Award!

We are finalists for the Enhancing the Sporting Workforce Award, recognising our Inclusive Activity Leaders (IAL) programme in partnership with Nike.

IAL trains disabled and non-disabled people together to become qualified inclusive sport coaches, breaking barriers to sport and employment for people like Temi. Temi started volunteering with us in 2018, and is now coaching with us every week - fulfilling a lifelong dream.

Temi said, "Joining DSC was a great breakthrough - and I still want to do more. I want to be part of giving every disabled person the chance to get into sport. And I want to be a part of changing attitudes."

Taking place on Wednesday 29 April at the iconic Guildhall, this special 10th anniversary edition of the Awards will celebrate a decade of impact across grassroots sport and physical activity in London. Watch this space for updates!

It's cold, dark, windy and icy, yet there's excitement and optimism all around. That's right, welcome to the Winter Olympics…in the London Borough of Merton!

Every four years, the nation is obsessed with curling. And rightfully so, as it's fantastic!

Members of our Community Club for disabled people in Merton got to experience the game for themselves - with a modern twist.

New Age Kurling is an inclusive, accessible version that can be played on any flat surface. The aim? Slide your stone to the centre of a target. Every stone closest to the target gets a point. Here's Raeya showing us how it's done!

Raeya's experience also shows two things:
1. With enough thought and desire, any sport can be adapted and made accessible for all.
2. The power of free sports coverage. If our members don't see it on TV, they don't ask their coaches about it - and they can't play it.

If you can't wait four years to watch curling again, come along to one of our Community Clubs and try a trendy sport or two😊

'I can be myself and not worry if I have a disability.'

Today marks Thrive LDN's , celebrating spaces that support our mental wellbeing. Spaces like our weekly Community Clubs. Our clubs go beyond getting people active; they are vital hubs where people from all walks of life can connect. People feel part of something.

As Temi says in this clip from our friends at Every Body Moves, people can be themselves.

And that's worth celebrating.

"The relationship between the students and the coaches was lovely. This allowed the students to be brave and take risks. Activities were challenging but accessible for all. You could see the students building self-confidence every session.”

This is why we do what we do.

In community groups across London, our specialist coaches create inclusive sport sessions where disabled young people feel safe enough to be brave, try new things, and enjoy being active - on their own terms.

Forget blue Monday, it's all about RED January!

January can feel long and heavy, especially when motivation is low and daylight is short.

Red January is a reminder that movement does not have to be big to matter.

A few minutes a day can help people feel more connected, more confident and better able to manage the winter months.

At our Community Clubs, we see the difference regular, fun, and inclusive activity can make. Friendly faces, shared movement and space to show up as you are - just what everyone needs 💪

📣 Some news!

We're thrilled to share that we are partnering The Fore to reach more disabled people through inclusive sport.

Disabled people are still far more likely to be physically inactive than non-disabled people, and barriers are even greater for those with complex disabilities.

Support from The Fore means we can recruit a specialist Community Coach to work with groups supporting people with complex disabilities. This will grow our reach and income, while also upskilling our existing coaches, so we are better equipped to meet rising demand.

Amardeep Gill, Head of Fundraising and Communications, said: “This partnership gives us the capacity to say yes to more opportunities and plan sustainably for the future. Crucially, it means more disabled people can be active in ways that work for them, with clear benefits for physical and mental health.”

A new year, and a good moment to (re)introduce Disability Sports Coach!

Our Community Clubs are back this week across London, supporting disabled people to be active, social and part of their local community.

Alongside our clubs, we deliver:

- Inclusive Sport Sessions at community groups across London
- Training courses that help individuals and organisations build the confidence to adapt sport so everyone can play.

🎄 Happy Christmas from us all at Disability Sports Coach!

Thank you to each of our supporters, donors and partners for being by our side this year. Without you, we simply could not deliver our mission - to enhance the lives of disabled people through the power of sport.

We can't wait to continue our journey with you in 2026, as we work to break down barriers to sport - and life - for even more disabled people.

We will be back in the office on 2 January. In the meantime, we wish you all a fantastic Christmas and a Happy New Year ✨

🎉We did it!

Thanks to your generosity, we’ve reached our Christmas Appeal target and will keep creating spaces where disabled people can be active, make friends and feel truly included.

One supporter said, “I love Saturdays at Willesden Sports Centre. Thank you!”

That’s the impact your gifts make for people across London. People like Temi. He found sport hard as a child and felt pushed to the sidelines. Through our Community Clubs, he not only joined in, but went on to become a qualified coach. Temi now supports others to feel welcome and capable - and enjoyed a once-in-a-lifetime Coin Toss experience earlier this year thanks to the Wimbledon Foundation!

Thank you for believing in inclusive sport.

And if you haven't had the chance to donate yet, it's not too late - the link is in the comments.
