FIA backs disability sport scheme
The Fitness Industry Association (FIA) has lent its support for Yoodo Sports - a new initiative to help people with disabilities take up and enjoy physical activity.
The scheme, a partnership between Leonard Cheshire Disability and Sport England, will pilot in Yorkshire this year and is based on bringing disabled people together with activity 'buddies' - people who may or may not have an impairment themselves but want to help others play sport or be active.
FIA members throughout Yorkshire are supporting the campaign by offering discounted and/or trial memberships for local people with disabilities and those with a long term health condition.
The Yoodo Sports pilot in Yorkshire will run in Leeds, Bradford, Richmond, Catterick, Kirklees, Huddersfield, Northallerton and Thirsk and be rolled out across England in 2012.
