Story
NLY Community Sport delivers sports coaching sessions to people with disabilities and learning difficulties.
We aim to increase confidence and social skills, help people build new friendships/relationships, combat social isolation and loneliness, develop physical skills and communication skills. We also aim to create new aspirations for the future – as seen with five of our players being picked for the Mencap GB squad over the past few years.
We have six adult and juniors Disability Football teams - Nostell MW DFC, Pontefract Pirates, Selby Disability Football Club, the South Yorkshire Superheroes (Barnsley) and the Selby Superheroes - across Yorkshire. We also have a walking group on a Tuesday.
This Justgiving page is continually open for us to collect donations for our various fundraising activities.
So far in 2021:
- The Selby Superheroes have held a sponsored penalty shootout.
- Josh (Selby) and his mum Jo did a sponsored walk, raising £70.
- Cathy, Jakob’s mum (Selby), allowed him and her work colleagues to get their own back on her by being custard pied!
- Pontefract Pirates Juniors players Billy is cycling from Crofton to Pontefract to raise money for some new training tops for him and his team-mates
