Active Futures Sports Project
Promoting sport and recreation for young Deaf people
The Deaf Active Futures Project, launched at Glasgow's Gorbals Leisure Centre, aims to release the sporting potential of young hearing-impaired people.
The aim is to attract 17-24 year-olds into regular sport and recreation. It's the fruit of a partnership between Glasgow City Council, Sports Council for Glasgow, Deaf Connections, West of Scotland Deaf Children's Society, the National Deaf Children's Society (Scotland), and Scottish Deaf Association.
The Glasgow Club has been working in partnership with Deaf Connections to offer gym inductions for hearing-impaired people for over a year. To find out more about the Deaf Active Futures Project or to find out about inductions provided by Deaf instructors, contact Paul McCusker (details are available on the Deaf Connections website)
