The Qld State Government is making dreams come true for young people with learning and perceptual disabilities thanks to a $30,000 grant to GingerCloud Foundation.
GingerCloud Foundation’s Modified Rugby Program (MRP) is a world-first, modified form of touch rugby pairing girls, boys and young adults with learning and perceptual disabilities with trained PlayerMentors encouraging social inclusion and promoting healthy and active lifestyles through sport. The program moves these young people off the sidelines and into the main game encouraging them to play rugby as part of their local junior rugby club community.
In 2017, the MRP had close to 180 children involved, and now thanks to a $30,000 Sponsorship through the Department of Housing and Public Works, the MRP will be able to increase its accessibility in Toowoomba and commence programs in Townsville as the demand for this program continues to grow.
