Lisburn’s Special Olympic Club needs your help
Thomas, who carried the torch in Belfast, nominated Lisburn 2gether for the community award because the Special Olympics Club: “inspires, supports and unlocks the potential of young people in the community”.
The club, which is run by volunteers, is currently competing against three other projects for a £5,000 grant.

We have been working steadily over the years to allow those with a learning disability to compete in their chosen sports at a local, national and international level, and this grant would mean we could help more local athletes reach their potential.”
