Sport for Confidence

Sport for Confidence place an Occupational Therapist and Coach into a leisure centre to make reasonable adjustments and break down barriers to enable everyone to participate in accessible sport and physical activity and experience positive outcomes in their lives. Through inclusive opportunities and therapeutic intervention we provide person-centred support and meaningful occupations. Our specialist sports coaches bring dynamic, fun and engaging activities to all sessions.

Our Occupational Therapists consider the impact physical, psychological, social and environmental factors have on an individual. We deliver a variety of local and national service provisions across various spaces and places. We do this in partnership with the NHS, Sport England, local authorities, Active Partnerships, Adult Social Care, leisure centres, Integrated Care Systems and our participants.
