Banbury Rugby Club is hosting a free sports day for children with disabilities and their families on 31 March 2026. The event will take place at Bodicote Park in Oxfordshire from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, featuring a variety of adapted activities focused on inclusion and fun.
The morning is designed to provide a low-pressure environment for families to explore different sports tailored to their specific needs. Anyone interested in taking part must register in advance using a digital form provided by the club.
This initiative takes place during the club’s Centenary Season, which celebrates 100 years since its founding in 1925. The event is led by Rebecca Giles, who serves as the club’s Special Needs Lead and also works as a special educational needs coordinator for a local secondary school.
According to England Rugby, the club has conducted special training for its staff to ensure they can best support children with additional needs. To help with community outreach, the club uses a dedicated vehicle provided by 14 Automotive and Carbody (Banbury) Ltd.
The Bodicote Park venue is fully prepared for visitors, offering wheelchair access, disabled parking, and accessible toilets. Director of Rugby Activities, Matt Goode, oversees these efforts to help make local sports more accessible to every member of the community.
