Move Like Me
Working in partnership with a number of schools nationally, a group of young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) have created a suite of online sport and physical activity videos to inspire other young people with SEND to be active.
Thanks for the support of Peter Harrison Foundation and the following schools for helping make this happen: High Furlong (Blackpool), Slated Row (Milton Keynes), Budmouth Academy (Weymouth), Crown Hills Community College (Leicester), Dorothy Goodman School (Hinkley).
To find out more about these relatable young role models and their experiences in sport, please read their blogs here.
