Who we are…

South London Special League is a unique award-winning registered charity that provides opportunities for disabled people in South London, male and female, to improve their lives through participation in competitive sport on a regular basis. By achieving this aim, disabled players can increase their opportunities to meet new people, socialise, and gain new experiences. All of these contribute towards their improved health and well-being, physical fitness, heightened self esteem, raised aspirations and indeed overall happiness.

The organisation was launched in 2004 to provide a competitive football league for young disabled people and in so doing to break down the social and environmental barriers to inclusion. This successful formula has been used to open up a wider range of sports to our diverse disabled community of all ages.
Since its conception over five thousand disabled players have experienced the fun and friendship of sport through the South London Special League. The project has been managed by Sharon Brokenshire, MBE, and has received a variety of awards for excellence that demonstrate the level of commitment of members of staff and the management committee.

You can help

At South London Special League we are always looking for people with skills or time on their hands to help us. We’re looking for coaches, referees, content creators for social media, fundraisers, first-aiders and crowd-controllers.
Most events are during the day, Monday to Friday, although our girls club trains and has matches on Sundays. We can cover expenses to make sure you are not out or pocket. Perhaps you have some spare kit, equipment or trophies. If they are in good condition, we are interested.
If you’d like to support the league tournaments in any way, or you think you have fundraising ideas, please let us know. We’d love you to support our friendly, inclusive, community project.
