Ability Counts with More Opportunities

Paul Jennings said "The aim of the programme was to reward individuals and groups for the great work they have done on a number of projects throughout the year as well as promote future disability football opportunities".

Feedback and suggestions for future events was also on the agenda for the events.

Both female and male adults (16+) attended the events, through The Glenmore Trust, The Heathlands Project and People's First. The participants were invited to Carlisle United FC where they had the opportunity to take part in a variety of football activities and play games in the Neil Centre before having the chance to look behind the scenes at Carlisle United FC.

This programme has led to further playing opportunities through the Carlisle United FITC Sportivate Adult (16+) Disability Football sessions that will run throughout the summer across the county. These sessions are going to take place on the following dates:

• Neil's Centre, Carlisle United FC on Tuesday 26th July, Tuesday 9th August and Saturday 27th August from 1.00pm to 3.00pm.
• Workington Leisure Centre on Wednesday 27th July, Wednesday 10th August, Wednesday 24th August from 3.00pm to 5.00pm.

Cost £1.00 per participant per session
