Tom Casson: Transforming Lives through Sport
Tom: Glad to be with you, Spiffy! Special Olympics Great Britain (GB) is a non-profit organization and the largest provider of year-round sports training and athletic competition in summer and winter sports for children and adults of ALL abilities who have intellectual disabilities, also known as learning disabilities. Special Olympics GB is so much more than just a sport organization—we genuinely transform lives. Through sport we provide opportunities for our athletes to make friends, learn social skills, feel part of a community, increase confidence and self-esteem, realize potential, develop physical fitness and mental well-being, demonstrate courage and experience joy and pride. And, above all, we provide a chance for both athletes and their families to have some FUN!
