The idea
Adding a stairlift to the building means that we can offer our services to more groups. Once in the gym the building the gym is flat. We already have some adapted and specialist equipment and we are unable to utilise it due to our new location.
We already offer classes to children who have a variety of disabilities and are working with Smile Through sport and Sported to offer more sessions
Some groups are unable to access our classes due to the first floor location and some children/adults miss out.
By adding a stair lift we will be able to utilise the disability power lifting bench, run more adaptive sessions and work with more people in Sunderland.
What we'll deliver
- install a stairlift
- run inclusive powerlifting sessions
- run inclusive sports sessions
Why it's a great idea
allowing access to adapted equipment with fully trained coaches will allow more people to train and learn a sport, reducing social isolation, improving fitness, both physically and mentally.
Steps to get it done
- increase members with physical limitations
- working with local disabililty groups
