Bedford Borough Council is thrilled to announce the launch of Beyond Limits, a brand-new initiative designed to promote physical activity and well-being for people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
Developed by the Council's Sports Development and Public Health teams, Beyond Limits aims to break down barriers to participation, offering inclusive and accessible activities within supportive environments.
Councillor Sarah Gallagher, Portfolio Holder for Customer Experience, Leisure and Culture, at Bedford Borough Council, says; "We are committed to creating a more inclusive and active Bedford Borough for everyone.
“Beyond Limits is a fantastic initiative that will provide a platform for individuals within the SEND community to explore the joy of movement and reap the numerous benefits of physical activity. I encourage everyone to get involved and experience the positive impact that Beyond Limits can have."
The exciting new project kicks off with the launch of two innovative clubs:
Multi-Activity Club: This dynamic program offers a variety of sports and activities specifically tailored to the unique needs and abilities of participants aged 18+. From team games and skill-building exercises to individual challenges, the club provides a fun and engaging environment for individuals to explore different activities, socialise, and develop new skills. Sessions are on Mondays from 10-11am at the Bedford International Athletic Stadium.
Online Chair Dance Club: This inclusive club offers a fun way to get active from the comfort of your own home. The online sessions will be held via Zoom every Monday from 2.30-3pm, providing a safe and enjoyable space for participants to get moving and have a laugh.
Both clubs cater to a range of abilities, offering a supportive and adaptable environment where participants can thrive. The initiative aims to reach individuals and families across Bedford Borough, helping to tackle inactivity and isolation while fostering a more connected and active SEND community.
Registration for both clubs is now open, both clubs be held every Monday, excluding bank holidays. The Multi-Activity Club runs 10-11am at the Bedford International Athletic Stadium. The Online Chair Dance Club sessions will be held every Monday from 2.30-3pm via Zoom.
