Competition Season complete.

Yesterday saw the final Disability Opportunities in Sport UK x Special Olympics Great Britain Inclusive Running Basketball Series. Supported by UPS we host a series of basketball events throughout the season for autistic basketball players and players with a learning disability.

DOSportUK volunteers work hard to plan, organise, and run these events and it is always a pleasure to see so many smiling faces after all of that hard work!

Big thank you to Loughborough University for hosting us. See you all next season 👊🏀

Towards the end of the season we always have so many things to reflect on! We also sometimes have to say goodbye to a few people....

Thank you to Jesse for all of your hard work with our Champions Sports Club this season! Jesse is a student with Manchester Metropolitan University and has been volunteering his time with us helping on a Friday evening. Jesse is now off to do a year internship with Bromley FC and we wish you all the luck with it. Hope to see you when you return!

Disability Opportunities in Sport UK are always looking to give students and others opportunities to volunteer and coach with us. If you are interested give us a shout today at [email protected]

One of our Superstar Basketball Players - Barnaby - is not only a keen basketball player but also an Athlete for Stockport Harriers Inclusive Athletics

Barnaby is raising some money for this group by running Manchester AJ bell Junior Run on the 30th May 2026 with some of his team mates.

That does mean he will sadly miss our basketball event in Loughborough... but we salute Barnaby for taking on his own challenge and raising funds for a good cause!

The Female Basketball Association really showed up for us at our Fundraiser last week! 🏀

Together, we ran, walked, and wheeled 200 miles and shot 10,000 baskets along the way to raise money for our inclusive sessions.

The Female Basketball Association, who brought fantastic energy, hit hundreds of baskets and even joined in a game with our DoSportUK members.

A huge thank you to Autumn and all the girls, it was an absolute pleasure having you with us and we really appreciate the support!

🏀 What an incredible turnout at our fundraiser this Saturday! Together, we ran, walked, and wheeled an amazing 200 miles and shot 10,000 baskets along the way.

Our community truly came together to make this happen, and we’re so grateful for everyone who took part and supported the event.

A huge thank you to Platt Lane, all the parents, members, fundraisers, and volunteers, the Female Basketball Association, our brilliant ambassador Maisie, and to Anya and Michael who came down from the Manchester Mystics and Manchester Magic to support us!

We’ve already raised over £2,000 so far, with donations still coming in as people continue to collect sponsorships. We’ll share a final total once everything has been counted!

Thank you again to everyone who made this event such a success, what a team effort.

We had a blast up in Manchester yesterday for the DOSportUK Fundraiser, but we also had some help from further afield.

Paul - one of our directors - wanted to get into the action and sent in this video!

🏀 JUST 2 DAYS TO GO! 🏀

We’re getting ready…and we need your support.

So much goes into every session we deliver, from court hire and coaching to equipment and all the behind-the-scenes work that makes it possible.

This season, we’re pushing ourselves with the Three-Mendous Challenge.

At Platt Lane, we’ll be taking on 200 miles on court while aiming to hit 10,000 baskets, all as a team, all driven by our community.

It’s about keeping this going, growing what we’ve built, and opening up even more opportunities for those we support.

If you’re in a position to help, even a small donation like £3 can make a real difference.

We’d love to have you behind us for this!
