Why include people with a disability?

Did you know that in Tasmania almost 1 in 4 people (22.3% of the population) have a disability? Are you tapping into this large target population group? There are many benefits for including people with a disability in your sport or recreation group.

By creating a more diverse and active membership, one that recognises the added value that people with a disability bring to an organisation, your club can benefit in many ways. So why include people with a disability? You can:

bullet

Gain more participants and volunteers

bullet

Create another level of competition

bullet

Reinvigorate your club

bullet

Attract funding from different sources

bullet    Meet moral and legal obligations
bullet    Provide for your local community
bullet    And a whole heap more...

Remember... people with a disability go to school, get jobs, get married, pay taxes and generally do the same things as everyone else!

How will your club approach including people with a disability? TASRAD can help.
