Inclusive Skating Activities receive lockdown funding!

Inclusive Skating and our skaters say thank you to funders!

During the Coronavirus outbreak Inclusive Skating provided Virtual Events and Activities.

We are delighted that the Virtual Events and activities were funded by the Scottish Government Wellbeing Fund (as managed by the Hunter Foundation Inspiring Scotland).

The Hunter Foundation also provide substantial core funding through the Kiltwalk.

The National Lottery Community Fund Peoples Project provided the funding for the Inclusive Skating Learning platform and this provided the digital infrastructure for the new badge program.

Inclusive Skaters based in Scotland also benefited from the Foundation Scotland managed Community Response, Recovery and Resilience Fund. This funding for off ice skates allowed our skaters to continue to skate whilst shielding. For many this was a completely new activity and it helped many to be active during shielding. The continuing benefits of this are considerable as many rinks are not reopening and there is still no or little access to ice skating.

The Inclusive Skating Community would like to say a huge thank you to

the Scottish Government, the funders and the Lottery for this support.

Your support means a lot to our skaters!
