Special Olympics GB Statement in response to Call to Action from Scottish Disability Sport

Special Olympics GB stands alongside Scottish Disability Sport in calling for organisations across Scotland to urgently remove the significant barriers faced by people with a disability.

The power of sport is transformational, and we see it day-to-day at our grassroots clubs which support children and adults with an intellectual disability.

The removal of these barriers will enable more people with intellectual disabilities to access Special Olympics GBs sporting pathway and, ultimately, change lives.

We welcome the opportunity to be part of this change and to work closely with Scottish Disability Sport, National Governing Bodies and other partners to achieve this goal.
