🚨 Help Needed! 🚨
We’re currently working towards building the first fully accessible sports facility in East Sussex, and could use your help!
In order to get the funding required to build such a big community asset, we’ll need to show the impact it’d have on the community. We need you to send us letters detailing why it is important for such a facility to exist locally.
We will make the facility accessible via:
Landscape: Having a changing places toilet and ensuring the entire building is fully accessible to people with mobility issues and wheelchair users.
Design: Easy to open doors, a welcome desk with friendly accessibility trained staff, clear and accessibility-friendly signage, windows and seating that will allow players to participate seated comfortably.
Coaching: Staff who are trained on disability and adapting to player’s needs as well as all sessions and activities being fully adaptable and inclusive.
If there’s anything you’d like to see in an accessible sports facility, let us know!
The more support we get for this project, the easier it’ll be to get funding and make it a reality.
You can email your letters to us at info@defiantsports.org.uk or send them physically to Defiant Sports Inclusion Hub, Archery Recreation Ground, Willoughby Crescent, BN22 8RA, Eastbourne, East Sussex.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! 🖤❤️

I am totally disabled and live life in a wheelchair. A purpose built sports centre for people with disabilities could be a life changer for me and many others.All too often we are forgotten in this area and to have an organisation bushing and promoting our needs is magnificent.
Do you still need support ? If so what kind of support?
Hi Ray,
Thanks for your comment. What we could really use to help get this project off the ground is an email with your basic details saying why you think a fully accessible sport centre is needed. This will help us prove there is a need for this kind of facility and help us get the funded needed to make it a reality.
If you know anyone else who could send an email too, that’d be incredible.
Our email address is: info@defiantsports.org.uk
Thank you so much for your support!
