People with learning disabilities sometimes feel UNCOMFORTABLE about joining non-disabled clubs.
Lots can be done to make things better like...
- Make sure you're fit enough.
- Ask your support worker to help you join a club.
- Say you want to join a non-disabled club - ask for yoga, badminton or something you want to do.
- Find a support worker who wants to do sport with you.
- If the person does not know how to be with a people with learning disability, tell them what you need.
- Tell them how to talk to you so you can understand and take part.
- Find other people to go with you so you don't feel alone.

By supporting people to use leisure centre's, centre staff can really help people with learning disabilities get involved!
