Welcoming back the medalists from Paris 2024 at Coram’s Fields
The Bloomsbury Football team were thrilled to welcome home the ParalympicsGB Team from Paris 2024 after a record-breaking Games!
Ameen, who is part of our Blind and Visually Impaired Football programme, was one lucky player that got to meet GB’s medallists at the official homecoming event on Monday.
He tried a number of Paralympic sports alongside the returning athletes, and got to meet Gold medallists like Taekwondo stars Amy Truesdale and Matt Bush.
Ameen and his parents particularly enjoyed talking to Javelin champion Dan Pembroke. Dan also has a visual impairment, and generously shared personal stories of overcoming access barriers which resonated with Ameen.
The ParalympicsGB Team have continually inspired throughout the Games, and have finished the fantastic Summer of Sport strong. We’re proud to be turning inspiration into action by providing access to football for young Londoners – including providing specialised sessions to those with additional support needs.
The Bloomsbury Football Disability Football programme consists of Pan-Disability Football sessions, and Blind and Visually Impaired Football sessions. These football sessions run across London, and are open to all young people with additional needs.
Financial assistance is available for all Bloomsbury Football programmes, including Disability Football.
