Lothian Disability Sport

Lothian Disability Sport is very keen to increase the number of sporting opportunities available to people with any disability in the Lothian area so we would like to hear from anyone who would like to affiliate with the organisation as a club, athlete, coach or volunteer. We would also like to hear any ideas or suggestions as to how we can best take forward sport in the Lothian area for people with a disability. Please contact Gary Fraser on 01875 619070 or gfraser1@eastlothian.gov.uk to pass on your comments or to request further information and assistance.
