Special Olympics GB athletes are at the heart of their organisation. They want to provide opportunities for their athletes to showcase their skills and talents both on and off the field of play.

Through their Social Enterprise, Special Olympics GB want to support and showcase the entrepreneurial skills of their athletes.

With 94% of people with an intellectual disability not in paid employment this idea not only helps provide more meaningful employment opportunities for more of our athletes like Niall it also demonstrates what people with intellectual disabilities can achieve through transferable skills gained through our Athlete Leadership programme with the right help.

Any profit received by Special Olympics GB will be re-invested into the development of further Athlete Leadership and Social Enterprise projects for other Special Olympics GB athletes and to help provide more employment opportunities for more of our athletes.
