Special Olympics Suffolk delivery partner, ActivLives, hosted a ‘Big Boccia Bash’ recently in Ipswich. This festival event was part of the nationwide celebrations of National Boccia Day. There were 44 athletes taking on a variety of skills challenges, followed by a mini-tournament. The event was specifically targeted at participants who have a learning (intellectual), physical and/or sensory disability.

Many thanks to the great volunteers who helped to make this all happen, and to ActivLives, Special Olympics GB, and Boccia England for their continued support for inclusive boccia in our county.
