The Singapore Disability Sports Council (SDSC) is the national sports body for the disabled in Singapore. It is a voluntary organisation registered with the Commissioner of Charities. Sports for the disabled formed the very cornerstone of SDSC’s existence. SDSC’s goal is to promote, through sports, the well-being of the disabled in Singapore, helping them to live full and independent lives.
SDSC depends on the kind and generous contributions of corporate sponsors and members of the public to advance its cause. SDSC firmly believes in the rehabilitative and therapeutic value of sports. Its programmes and activities underscore its guiding principle that "Disability Must Never Disqualify". Thus, SDSC aspires: - to provide the disabled with opportunities to train, participate and excel in sports for local, regional and international competitions - to enhance the lifestyles of the disabled and integrate them into the community through recreational sports and activities - to increase public awareness of and promote widespread support for the sporting and recreational needs of the disabled community in Singapore.
Singapore has improved vastly on disabled-friendly facilities in recent years. But the problem of transport is still looming large for the disabled. Imagine having to push a pram 200m to a bus stop, carry it up a bus, transfer at an MRT, alight and take another bus elsewhere. Now, imagine yourself in the pram. This is but one of the problems facing our athletes, who dedicate themselves to training with the aim of attaining honour for Singapore one day.
A little donation will go a long way to help them in their transport, their training and their dreams. Besides that, your donation will aid in developing sports programs for both the athletes and the young. For example, letting more disabled children get in touch with sports or letting young budding athletes train with better equipment and coaching. Donations will also be used for events promoting disability sports. Make a donation. Together, we are a community. Your donations will be treated with integrity. We fully support transparency of accounts. Donations will be reflected clearly in our annual statement of accounts for their purposes.
