Bracknell

People with disabilities and their families are invited to Bracknell Leisure Centre on December 3 to take part in activities organised to celebrate the International Day of Disabled Persons.

The Bracknell well-being and leisure team based at the Bagshot Road facility are holding badminton and new age curling sessions between 2pm and 3pm – friends and family are welcome to join in too.

The team has been set up to provide advice and support to people with disabilities who want to take part in the range of activities offered at the leisure centre throughout the year.

International Day of Disabled Persons aims to promote an understanding of disability issues and the rights of people with disabilities.

Cllr Alan Kendall, Executive member for Bracknell Community Cohesion, said: It is really important that we mark this day. We are working hard to make sure that we support people with disabilities and ensuring they are not excluded from using our services or taking part in the activities we offer to those who live in the borough.”

Bracknell Forest Borough Council now has a dedicated page on its website with links to all the services it provides for people with disabilities, including access advice for all its leisure facilities.

This was one of the actions in the Council’s first Disability Equalities Scheme which was published last year.

The activity sessions at Bracknell Leisure Centre will take place between 2pm and 3pm on Monday December 3 and cost £2.50. For more information call 01344 454203.
