On Wednesday 16 July 2025, Active LD delivered the first Chichester Personal Bests at the University of Chichester, supported by Chichester District Council.
The inclusive sports day enabled 56 people with learning disabilities to try six accessible activities, build confidence and celebrate their achievements in a supportive environment. Delivered alongside local clubs and supported by 19 volunteers, the event strengthened connections between participants, carers and community sport.
Early outcomes include increased confidence, positive feedback from families and new pathways into regular, accessible physical activity, with plans to expand the event in 2026.
Since the Chichester Personal Bests:
Together our Community (TOC) young people attend weekly tennis sessions with Chichester Racquets and Fitness Club.
TOC and Apuldram service users attend monthly running sessions with Chichester Athletics and Running Club.
