Your support makes a difference
An inclusive sports day for people with additional needs and disabilities to enjoy sport, activities and friendly competition.
Here at Mosaic Community Services, we are passionate about creating opportunities for people of all abilities to thrive, connect and achieve their full potential.
The idea for the Bill Gladden Inclusive Sports Day was developed by the dedicated staff team at Thrive Hub Haverhill, a day service supporting young people and adults with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and additional needs. Following the overwhelming success of our first event, Mosaic Community Services is proud to host the second annual Bill Gladden Inclusive Sports Day in 2026.
Our vision is simple: to provide children, young people and adults with disabilities and additional needs the opportunity to experience a wide range of sports, competitive games and activities in a safe, supportive and fully inclusive environment.
For many individuals with disabilities, opportunities to participate in sporting events and community activities can be limited. Experiences that many people take for granted are often not accessible to everyone. We created this event to change that.
The Bill Gladden Inclusive Sports Day celebrates ability, achievement and inclusion. It gives every participant the chance to challenge themselves, build confidence, make friends, have fun and discover what they can achieve regardless of their disability.
The event is completely free for all attendees and their carers because we believe that everyone should have access to opportunities like this, regardless of their financial circumstances.
Throughout the day, participants will enjoy:
The day will conclude with a special awards ceremony where participants will receive medals and certificates to celebrate their achievements, followed by music, dancing and a chance for everyone to celebrate together.
Last year’s event was nothing short of magical. We saw participants try new activities, overcome challenges, gain confidence and create lasting memories. Families, carers and staff witnessed first-hand the positive impact that inclusion, encouragement and opportunity can have.
Now, we need your help to make it happen again.
The money raised through this Crowdfunder will help cover the costs of equipment, activities, refreshments, participant T-shirts, medals, certificates and event resources, ensuring the day remains completely free and accessible for everyone who attends.
By supporting the Bill Gladden Inclusive Sports Day, you are helping to create opportunities, promote inclusion and demonstrate that disability should never be a barrier to participation, achievement or success.
Together, we can make this year’s event even bigger and better and ensure this wonderful community event continues for many years to come.
Every donation helps create a day where everyone belongs, everyone participates and everyone succeeds.
