New Handcycling Initiative launched for Co.Meath!

Meath Local Sports Partnership (LSP) has launched a new Handcycling Initiative in County Meath!

Meath LSP purchased two handcycles through the support of the Sport Ireland Dormant Account fund.

One handcycle is upright and suitable for children with the other recumbent handcycle suitable for adults. The handcycles are powered by the arms and will support people with a disability to be more physically active.

Meath LSP will link with key partners to ensure this initiative has a positive impact on people in Meath with a physical disability.

Meath LSP are holding a Come ‘n’ Try day for anyone interested both children and adults in testing out the new handcycles on Saturday May 20th in Claremont Stadium Navan at 12pm as part of National Bike Week 2023.

Participants are asked to register their interest along with family members who wish to support them getting involved in handcycling.

For more information on the Come n Try day and to register your interest please contact Sports Inclusion Disability Officer Terry Donegan on 0469067887 or Email tdonegan@meathcoco.ie
