Around 210 young participants are heading to Gunnersbury Park Sports Hub for the London Youth Games ParaGames Football event. Hundreds of participants from borough teams across London will come together to represent their borough at LYG’s inclusive football competition.

This event and all our ParaGames events are proudly supported by Chaotic, a UK-based competition platform dedicated to supporting families with Special Educational Needs (SEN). Chaotic partners with and sponsors a wide range of community organisations, schools and charities that share its mission. For founder Shana Kennedy, this mission is personal as her son Reyon is autistic.

Together, London Youth Games and Chaotic Community are working to make sport more inclusive for everyone.
