Sport for Confidence delivers programmes which encourage people with and without disabilities to participate together in sport and physical activity groups. The programmes are designed through unique partnerships between occupational therapists, health professionals, sports coaches and leisure centres.

There are currently sessions taking place in Essex in Brentwood, Basildon, Canvey Island, Chelmsford, Clacton, Colchester and Witham. New groups for different sports are developed in response to client needs.

The role of occupational therapy in the Sports for Confidence programme is to contribute specialist knowledge and advice regarding the delivery of activity for adults with disabilities, to mentor and observe coaches/instructors, and to provide opportunities for people with learning disabilities to engage in sport and physical activity in a mainstream environment.
