The centre will provide a base of operations for the charity, both regionally and nationally, to deliver adaptive sports programmes, sports teams, national leagues and community based programmes to meet the needs of the sick, injured and disabled emergency services communities and local residents.

The  centre will be a dedicated, inclusive facility designed to support sick, injured, and disabled emergency, volunteer and blue light service workers, civil servants, armed forces communities, along with their families, through tailored physical activity, rehabilitation, and community engagement.

This centre will combine specialist rehabilitation equipment, accessible sports facilities, and expert-led adaptive fitness programmes to help individuals regain strength, improve mobility, and enhance overall wellbeing. It will feature fully accessible sports and leisure activities, accessible climbing zone and crazy golf course, adaptive sports courts, and multi-use spaces for both physical and social activities.

Beyond physical recovery, the centre will foster emotional resilience and peer connection by creating a safe, welcoming environment where service workers and their loved ones can share experiences, build friendships, and access mental health support.

By integrating inclusive design principles, family-friendly amenities, and specialist coaching, the Adaptive Sports Centre will not only aid recovery but also celebrate the courage and service of those who protect our communities, ensuring they and their families have the resources, respect, and support they deserve.

Hiring the Centre

Sports clubs, organisations, businesses and charities will be able to hire the centre for events.

Blue LIght Sports Foundation is a charity and will offer charity rates to all eligible charitable organisations, as well as competitive rates to all others who wish to use the space for their events.

Our vision for the centre

Blue Light Sports Arenas will be able to provide a dynamic space for multiple uses, and will also host special events throughout the year to support many communities across the region. Here are just some of the ideas we have had to promote the site.
