Lothian Disability Sport

Lothian Disability Sport is a registered charity, which promotes, co-ordinates and develops a wide range of sports and recreational opportunities for people of all ages and abilities throughout Lothian. As a branch of Scottish Disability Sport, our vision is to lead the development of sport, in the area, for people with a physical, sensory or learning disability, in partnership with key local agencies. A range of opportunities are available in a variety of sports including football, athletics, archery, badminton, swimming, basketball, wheelchair basketball, horse riding, judo, carpet bowls, indoor bowls, boccia, power lifting and multi-sports. As an organisation we now have a well-established programme of competitive events and are delighted to see an increase in the number of athletes competing at national level. We will continue to provide as much support as we can to encourage even greater numbers to try and attain this level, particularly with the prospect of the London Paralympics in 2012 and the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014.
