Adaptive Sport and the Unity Sports Centre

Transformation through movement: the journey from rehabilitation to sporting success.

The ‘Sports Space of Unity’ programme is based on cutting-edge methods for the social integration of veterans used in EU countries. We believe that adaptive sport is the quickest way to restore dignity, overcome isolation and improve mental and emotional well-being.

Our core subjects:

A dynamic team sport that develops strategic thinking and physical stamina. It forms the foundation of our sporting community, where veterans learn to work as a team and feel the support of their comrades
