Due to COVID. we have been unable to reliably plan for a Surrey Para Games in 2022. We hope to be back with an event in 2023, but in the meantime read about the inclusive activities within the Surrey School Games programme, or the Specsavers Surrey Youth Games.
The Surrey Para Games was established as a legacy to the 2012 London Olympics. Traditionally run at Charterhouse Club in Godalming in July, it's open to Surrey children aged 11‐15 (school years 7-10), who have special educational needs and/or disabilities.
The aim of the event is to provide new experiences, build confidence encourage young people to continue being active in their local community after the Games.
Previos Games have seen participants take part in a variety of sports including swimming, boccia, cricket, cycling, football, rowing, rugby, tennis and sitting volleyball.
95% of teachers said their young people are more willing to take part in activities in school.
73% of teachers felt that young people would be more willing to take part in out of school activities.
What an amazing day! Our children are absolutely buzzing! Thank you so much, can't wait to take part again!!! 😊😊
