Accessibility & Inclusion
Accessibility & Inclusion
Our programmes are for everyone. Let's work together to make sure your child can participate.
Our Approach
Progress Network welcomes all children, regardless of physical ability, learning differences, or additional needs. We believe every young person deserves the chance to play football, grow vegetables, create music, and be part of our community.
We're a small grassroots organisation working in public outdoor spaces and rented venues. We can't always control the physical environment, but we can control our attitude - and we're committed to finding ways to include every child who wants to participate.
What We Need From You
Please talk to us before your first session.
Tell us about your child:
- What helps them feel comfortable and engaged?
- What might be challenging for them?
- What adjustments would make participation easier?
- Are there any safety considerations we should know about?
The more we understand, the better we can support your child from day one.
Contact UsWhat We Offer
Patient, Experienced Leaders
Our coaches and volunteers adapt activities to each child's needs and abilities.
Flexible Participation
Children can take breaks, go at their own pace, and opt in and out of activities as they need.
Small Group Sizes
Our group sizes allow for individual attention and support where needed.
Willingness to Learn
We're always willing to adjust our approach based on what works for your child.
We don't always get it right first time, but we'll work with you to find what works for your child.
Venue Considerations
Our venues are public outdoor spaces (Warrior Square for football, Green Arena for gardening) and we're developing an indoor music studio. These spaces have limitations we can't always control - uneven ground, stairs, outdoor weather conditions.
If you have concerns about whether a venue will work for your child, contact us and we'll talk it through honestly.
Cost Should Never Be a Barrier
We never turn families away for financial reasons. Speak to us confidentially if cost is a concern.
Feedback Welcome
