 Archery ‘Have a Go’ Days

In response to a number of inquiries about the sport of Archery, the Sports Inclusion Disability Officer and the Carrowmore Archers Club regularly organise ‘Have a Go’ days in Archery on a monthly basis to promote the sport further and give people with a disability the chance to try out the sport of Archery to see if they would like to pursue it further.

For further information on the next Archery ‘Have a Go’ Day contact Robert Gawley on gawley71@gmail.com or Shane Hayes on 071 9161511 or shane@sligosportandrecreation.ie

There are currently a number of elements to the Horse Riding programme for adults and young people with a disability available through the SSRP Sports Inclusion Project.  A series of programmes targeted at adults with a physical disability and young people of all ability levels continue to be facilitated and delivered through Keash Equestrian Centre. These programmes including an Equine Assisted Therapy programme promote and encourage independence through participation and life learning with a specific emphasis on fostering positive physical and mental health.    For more information on the Horse Riding programmes contact Eilish Divine at Keash Equestrian Centre on 0876772094 or devineeilish@eircom.net
