Become and inclusive club For Conwy to become truly inclusive it is vitally important that non-

disabled sport clubs open their doors to disabled

people and become more inclusive within their delivery.

There are a number of ways a club can become inclusive and all the

support, advice & guidance can be supplied from Conwy’s Disability

Sport Wales Officer.

All inclusive clubs will undertake the same insport accreditation

process as disability sport clubs across Wales and will also benefit

from the extra exposure, increased club membership and further

developed coaches.

Inclusive clubs will all operate differently focusing on the qualities of

that club and what impairment groups they can cater for ensuring a

safe, positive experience for coaches, participants and volunteers.
