Forth Valley Disability Sports are seeking self-motivated volunteers to join their new GOGA (‘Get Out Get Active’) project.

This new project will focus on getting women and girls with disabilities more active through physical activity and sport. The three main activities for this programme are walking, cycling and swimming.

Here are some ways you can get involved in this new project:

Walk Leading- train to be a walk leader and lead low level walks throughout the community for care groups
Cycle Leader- complete a cycle leader training course and lead supported cycles throughout the community
Swimming Coach/ Support- perhaps you would like to complete a swimming qualification to help support or coach young girls or women to build their confidence in the water and learn to swim
