the programme mission
Our Inclusive Coaches program is designed to foster inclusivity in sports coaching, ensuring that every individual, regardless of ability or background, has access to the transformative benefits of physical activity.
Coaching resource and availability are under strain, and in response to this, the programme was set up to help more young people access more inclusive coaching provision to keep them safe, develop them as people, and create an enjoyable experience through participation.
From coaching to leadership and sport development, Inclusive Coaches helps individuals unlock their full potential and pursue their passions.
By providing specialized training, resources, and a supportive community, the Inclusive Coaches programme empowers coaches to create environments where every young Londoner can thrive.

success stories
Coaches like Aiden, have enriched their skills and become part of transforming lives through sports.
Aiden said: “Before I started the programme, I knew I wanted to get involved in coaching disability sport and but I felt quite anxious and not so confident. I didn’t want to let Aspergers stop me from fulfilling my coaching dream. The Inclusive Coaches programme has helped my confidence through meeting new people and networking. It’s also helped me to become a more compassionate and a motivating role model for young disabled athletes.”
