People with disabilities have been benefiting from free sports sessions at Les Ormes.
The four-week pilot scheme run by Jersey Sport on Wednesday mornings includes team games and lots of different sports.
Young people from Beresford Street Kitchen and the Youth Service's Inclusion Project are taking part in activities like tag, dodgeball, netball and tennis.
Dan Garton from Jersey Sport says the scheme plays an important role:
“It’s important to recognise that people with disabilities are often among the most inactive in society because of barriers such as a lack of confidence or lack of opportunity. We hope to remove this with our weekly sessions, based around fun and enjoyment, while also giving participants the chance to progress their social skills and teamwork.”
Jersey Sport says it'll be looking to continue the sessions in 2019.
