| What We Do: | Some people think that Special Olympics involves just a few days of games once or twice a year. In reality, the training never stops and is as important as the competition itself. Special Olympics offers a lifetime of learning through sport and benefits individuals of all ages and ability levels – from those with low motor abilities to highly skilled athletes.
Special Olympics Great Britain was established in 1978 as part of Special Olympics Inc. Special Olympics GB is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. Through 135 clubs in England, Scotland and Wales, we provide training and competition programmes in 26 sports. We presently offer opportunities to more than 8,000 children and adults with learning disabilities in Great Britain and our aim is to reach out to a further 12,000 new athletes and 4,000 volunteers by the end of 2013.
