Inclusive Golf (disability)

The individuality, the leisurely pace and social nature of golf is very appealing for many people and is a great way to exercise and get outdoors in the fresh air.

All of our HSBC Golf Roots Centres are encouraged to deliver inclusive coaching and many of the projects we support get involved in specific disability sessions.

“Achieving Inclusion Together”, drives a vision that disabled people are active for life. It builds upon the success of the English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) and sets out the goals for the future, under the new operating name – Activity Alliance.  The Golf Foundation supports this vision by ensuring that:

• We support disabled people to enable them to participate.
• Through our initiatives disabled people will have the same opportunity as non-disabled people. 
• All our communication will promote positive public attitudes towards disabled people’s participation. 

If you are interested in getting involved and would like more information then please contact your local Regional Development Officer.
