Free sport and gym sessions for young people with learning and physical disabilities start this month in Littleport.

Littleport Leisure and Sanctuary Housing are hosting the activities at the Littleport Leisure Centre, on Camel Road.

The weekly two-hour sessions - for people aged 14 to 22 - will include various coached games and accessible gym lessons adapted for a range of abilities.

Sessions, which take place between 1pm and 3pm, begin on Thursday September 13 and will run until the New Year.

They form part of Sanctuary’s wider Love Sport initiative, which aims to engage more than 2,250 residents in sport and fitness activities.

Adam Peacock, Littleport Leisure’s assistant manager, added: “We want to ignite a passion for sport among as many young people in our community as possible, ensuring that everyone can access and benefit from our wonderful facility.”
