The inclusive archery programme has been specifically designed to help people who have limited mobility or who find taking exercise difficult.  This activity will help those attending   active while at the same time helping them to  promote positive health and well-being.

Colette Brolly, the PHA’s lead on physical activity, said:

“Being physically active is important for health and well-being. Involvement in physical activity from a young age can help develop and encourage life-long participation in activities which will support a healthy and active lifestyle. I would encourage all participants including those with a disability to get involved in the programme.”
