Inclusive Fitness Initiatives

Motivating and encouraging people of all ages with a disability to keep active, fit and healthy is a key area of work in the Sports Inclusion Disability Programmes.

Donegal Sports Partnership delivers a number of fitness programmes on an annual basis. A number of these programmes are delivered in collaboration with partner organisations.

Types of fitness programmes delivered:

Chair Based Fitness Programmes

Delivered independently to members of the community and also delivered in conjunction with our partners such as the Irish Wheelchair Association for their members.

Fit INC

1-1 Fitness Sessions

In partnership with local inclusive fitness providers we enable people with a disability to participate in both group and 1-1 fitness sessions.

Inclusive Fun Family Fitness

An inclusive fitness programme for children and young adults with a disability and their families.

CARA Fit4All Week

Fit For All is a national initiative aimed at increasing awareness among people with disabilities, families/carers and disability services on the benefits of regular exercise, healthy lifestyles and opportunities to participate within the local community.
