The interest and drive in promoting disability awareness through sport comes from the management team’s own personal experiences.

dave kelly
My name is Dave Kelly; you could say I am a blind man with a vision. This being the inclusion of all disabled people within Sport, Education and Employment in order to be of benefit to physical, mental and social wellbeing. Through this approach my aim is to support our disabled community through the transition from inactivity to activity, school leaving age to adulthood, education to meaningful employment and beyond. Through the mediums of Sport, Education and Employment, we support our community in achieving what mainstream society typically assumes impossible for someone with a disability.

Kelsey Dickman
I have been visually impaired since birth, and throughout my life it has had both negative and positive impacts. In late 2007 I lost my sight completely and my world shut down for awhile. During an inclusive sports session at my college, I met the most influential person, David Kelly. Dave suggested I attend various events surrounding visual impairments to boost my confidence and to help me accept my blindness for what it was, as I knew I would have to.
Sharnna Kelly
I have been a volunteer with daisy UK since the age of twelve. I started helping to gain the experience of working in a different environment with different people. I like volunteering for daisy UK as I gain a lot of experience and learn something new everyday. I am now eighteen and I am studying for a NVQ level 2 in playwork with daisy UK, from this I hope to gain the qualifications I need to be able to go to university.

My name is Carla Roberts & one of my roles within Daisy UK is practicing in Alternative Therapy. I thoroughly enjoy working within the community, working with families, groups, individuals and enjoy sporting activities. Alternative Therapies is a system of Health Care. It emphasises the needs to look at the whole person, including physical, mental, emotional, social & spiritual aspects of health. Alternative Therapies focus on education & responsibility for personal efforts to achieve balance & well-being. Also known as Holistic or ‘Wholistic,’ healing addresses all parts of the individual. It is an ongoing journey of discovery & ultimately, living better, being healthier & striving for wholeness.
