SHEPHERD Chartered Surveyors has recommitted its financial support to Scottish Disability Sport (SDS) for the second year running to aid boccia development throughout Scotland.
The backing will help fund SDS’s commitment to providing opportunities for people of all abilities to try and participate in boccia.
Scotland currently has 36 boccia opportunities which allows over 720 people to enjoy the sport. To make this happen, there are over 199 volunteers who support these opportunities.
Ian Fergusson, senior partner at Shepherd, said, “Having seen first-hand the benefits of SDS’s inspirational boccia programme, we’re delighted to recommit our financial support for this hugely inclusive sport which caters for all abilities, and look forward to continue to play an active part in the growth of this popular sport throughout Scotland.”
Acting as the Scottish gverning body for boccia, SDS is campaigning to make the sport accessible for all, providing clear pathways to engage in the sport in both urban and rural areas of Scotland.
“SDS is delighted to receive this recommitment of funding support from Shepherd Chartered Surveyors”, said Gavin MacLeod, SDS chief executive. “Financial support of this nature goes a long way to allowing us to offer more players with disabilities access to this fantastic Paralympic sport. Funding will be used to enhance access to training and competition for players across Scotland. Our thanks go to everyone at Shepherd Chartered Surveyors.”
