Motability Scheme and the SDS
The Motability Scheme and SDS work together to give people with a disability in Scotland more chances to get involved in sport.
The Scheme also supports SDS’s Education and Training programme, helping schools, universities, volunteers, and coaches.
Look out for the Motability Scheme team at SDS events. We’ll be there to chat, answer your questions, and help you explore the possibilities.
