University of Worcester launches Inclusive Sport Campaign

The University of Worcester is today launching a campaign to establish an International Centre for Inclusive Sport in the city.

The University's Vice Chancellor and Chief Executive, Professor David Green, will share the University's vision to further extend its essential work to make sport accessible to all.

The delegation will be attended by some of the County's most influential people, including the Minister of State for Disabled People, Justin Tomlinson and Baroness Sue Campbell, Chair of Youth Sport Trust.

The University prides itself on its dedication to disability sport, even having a dedicated degree programme in Disability Sports Coaching.

The International Centre for Inclusive Sport will offer the facilities, sports science support and expertise to make Worcester a home for a diverse group of partners ranging from UK Sport Paralympic training for athletes prior to major events to workshops for local needs.

The University of Worcester is also placing importance on the inclusion of women in sport.

They are aiming to make a noticeable difference in lifting participation rates for women and girls in sport, improving their facilities to accommodate for Basketball, whilst also aiming to become a partner in a new Netball Super league franchise.
