THE LORD’S TAVERNERS

The aim of the Lord’s Taverners is to enhance the lives of disadvantaged and disabled young people through sport and recreation, particularly by supporting some of the most marginalised and at risk young people in the UK.

The charity has the following key strategic objectives:
o To increase opportunities for regular participation;
o To motivate young people to engage in sport;
o To improve health, social and psychological wellbeing; and
o To empower volunteers, coaches and teachers to deliver training sessions.
Programmes currently or shortly to open to applications are:
1. Lord’s Taverners Minibuses
This programme provide funding for specially adapted, wheelchair-accessible transport for schools or community organisations catering for young people with disabilities. The minibuses enable schools to engage pupils in sporting and recreational activities and help them develop life skills such as visiting shops and interacting with people in the local community.
Applications are accepted from schools or organisations that cater for young people under the age of 25 who have a physical, sensory or learning disability.
The programme opens to applications on Tuesday 1st December 2016 and closes on Tuesday 28 February 2017.

2. Lord’s Taverners Sports Wheelchair Programme
The Sports Wheelchair Programme provides multi-sports wheelchairs to individuals under the age of 25 and clubs with a junior section. Clubs may apply for up to five chairs, although the Taverners require a self-help contribution of £350 per chair.
Schools, organisations and clubs that cater for young people under the age of 25 who have a physical, sensory or learning disability may apply.

The partnership with BT is expected to benefit over 18,000 young people in the UK with profound disabilities by the end of the decade.
