Young disabled athletes broke off from a mini-Olympics tournament at Titus Salts School in Baildon to accept a donation on behalf of the group that supports them, Bradford Disability Sports and Leisure (BDSL).

BDSL which supports disabled people through sport received a £5,000 donation from Sovereign Health Care at the Baildon School. The cheque was handed over to BDSL by David Lewis, consultant to Sovereign Health Care’s charitable trust. The money will go towards funding BDSL’s annual activities.

Mr Lewis said: “We are delighted to be able to help finance some of the work of BDSL for another year. They have excelled in recent competitions and have a huge haul of medals to show for their efforts. On top of this, they are taking part in the European Special Olympic Games in September and the World Games in Athens in 2011.”

Hilary White Chairperson of BDSL said “We are delighted that Sovereign is helping us once again, without their help many disabled people would not be able to take part in our sports clubs and activities.  We thank them from the bottom of our hearts”
