Sports Fun Day 2024 24 July 2024 – Posted in: Fund Raising

What a FUN day. Sunday saw the annual Sporting Opportunities’ Sports Fun Day, this year held at the Isle of Wight Community Club in Cowes. A fantastic day was had by all.

Sporting Opportunities is an Isle of Wight charity that provides the facilities, venues and supportive coaches, for disabled or disadvantaged children and adults to participate in a wide range of sports.

The fun day is a chance to raise funds to support those activities and, also, to showcase the many different opportunities that the organisation provides to people who may not otherwise get the chance to play sport in such a sympathetic, encouraging and supportive environment.

The athletes, their carers and supporters have been working towards the fun day for months, creating crafts, cakes and prizes and activities for everyone to enjoy.

Many thanks to Wolfguard for the Viking re-enactment team for their educational display, thank you to Bouncy Castle IOW for the bouncy castle, we’re grateful to Alex for the cricket tent and many, many thanks to the Isle of Wight Community Club for hosting and supporting the event.
