Boccia

The National Lottery's support has been instrumental in enabling the development of Boccia in Wales. The support has allowed for the development of essential resources, coach development, competition opportunities and equipment.

All of which has meant there has been a significant growth in both the quality and number of Boccia opportunities for disabled young people and adults across Wales.

Community Opportunities

The National Lottery's support has been crucial in both sustaining and developing community based sport and physical activity opportunities for disabled people right across Wales.  

One great example of the impact of this support is at Cardiff Met sport where they have developed disability specific junior sport camp sessions. The sessions were developed for disabled children and their siblings who would benefit from additional support or specific disability sport provision to get the best experience from sport and physical activity opportunities.
