5th Birthday Celebrations and Awards for Rotary Inclusive Sports Program

We’re delighted to celebrate 5 years of their “ Yes We Can“ Inclusive Sports Program on Sunday October 2nd, with its first awards event since the pandemic, supported by Leighton Fun Runners.

Inclusive Sports participants from the sports of Football, Hockey, Sailing, Swimming and Tennis were on hand to receive their awards from a variety of special guests including GB Para Athlete and Invictus Games Medal Winner Daniel Bingley.

Amongst the highlights were a rousing sing a long to “ Sweet Caroline” as the Footballers received their awards and a memorable Special Recognition Award for Christine Munford who established the Otters Disability Swimming Club some 25 plus years ago.

Richard Johnson OBE Rotary’s “ Yes We Can” Team Leader said:

An uplifting and inspirational afternoon was enjoyed by everyone and Rotary are proud that five years on we have been able to work with a wide range of partners to deliver Accessible, Affordable & Sustainable Inclusive Sports to Leighton Linslade and at a difficult time make the Parish a shining light for inclusive sport in Bedfordshire.
