Developing Initiatives Supporting Communities (DISC) promote social inclusion, are committed to reducing deprivation and exclusion and, overall, aim to improve individuals’ well-being.
A number of young transgender people who regularly use DISC’s services had expressed an interest in taking part in regular physical activity, particularly swimming sessions.
The Sport Outreach Swimming Project was developed and delivered by County Durham Sport, in partnership with DISC, in order to meet the young people’s requests and six weekly sessions were delivered at a private swimming pool in Durham City Centre.
After the initial block of six sessions, the objective of the project was to sustain the young people in physical activity by using Satellite Club funding to continue running the weekly swimming sessions.
