BAND were excited to partner with Bristol Bears Community Foundation over the October half term, to provide 2 Inclusive Sports workshops to our member settings that are funded to support SEND children. The workshops enabled staff and children to try out dodgeball, target games such as Boccia, and a seated Haka! Settings were left with booklets of games to enable them to build on the workshop in the setting.

Children’s Feedback: ‘It was really fun and active’. ‘I liked that they played music and that there were loads of different activities and that you don’t just do one.’ ‘I like the one on the matts and bouncing the ball over the heads’.

PlayLeader feedback: ‘It was really good. The kids loved it. The workshop leaders  were really friendly and they gave really clear instructions. Everyone who wanted to join in could join in. They split it up for age groups but were really flexible with the disabled children and every time I went in the kids were having a brilliant time and living their best life. ‘

A huge thankyou to Dec Armstrong and the Bristol Bears Community Foundation & to Schools Out Henleaze for letting us visit to observe the workshop.
