Flash award Wokingham winners presentation
Nine Wokingham sportspeople with learning difficulties have proved they are fit and full of confidence, after attending a programme called ‘Flash’ at Loddon Valley Leisure Centre.
The sports-mad group have been completing activities with Wokingham Borough Council’s disability sports coach Simmone Jacobs to collect points and work towards a Norwich Union Shine Award.
FLASH is an initiative that has been set up in partnership with Wokingham MENCAP and the council’s sports development unit. The scheme enables adults with physical and learning disabilities, including autism spectrum disorders, to take part in physical activity. The participants can come along and try circuit sessions, group games, walking, athletics, rounders, cricket, swimming and other sports. All the participants have gained confidence and skills as the sessions have gone on, and all have achieved Shine awards.
The Wokingham Mayor will present the certificates at a special ceremony which reporters and photographers are welcome to attend.
