All ages and abilities are welcome to attend a very special sporting event from 10am-1pm on Thursday 19 August at St Edward’s School in Poole.

University Hospitals Dorset’s children’s therapy service has teamed up with AFC Bournemouth for an exciting, inclusive taster sports session – Sports Say – which also aims to get feedback on how the trust can improve its services.

The session which will include adapted football and multi-sports run by AFC Bournemouth will give young people the perfect opportunity to try out some activities and get to know others with physical disabilities.

While the activities are taking place, parents will have the opportunity to talk with the hospital team to give feedback on the services and ways to improve.

Senior paediatric therapist, Sarah Lund, said: “We are really excited to work with AFC Bournemouth to give young people the opportunity to access football and multi sports and to learn about sports available for all abilities.  We are also looking forward to hearing from young people and their families about their experiences with children’s therapy services so we can make positive change to their therapy journey.”
