Vision
The vision of Moormead Community & Sports Pavilion (MCSP) is for Moormead Park to be a welcoming environment for disabled/special needs people to be more active and lead healthy lives.
No one should be excluded from the transformational benefits of community sport/activity. We are on a mission to make inclusion the norm in community sport/activity by tackling the access barriers faced by disabled people.
Everyone should be able to participate in exercise without fear of physical barriers or discomfort. That’s why it is important to remove limitations for people living with disabilities and make them feel they can always get involved.
We support flexible activities – i.e. adapted to a person’s abilities and activity at their own pace.
