Cerebral Palsy Sport nominated for Project of the Year award

National Disability Sports Organisation, Cerebral Palsy Sport has been shortlisted for Project of the Year at the upcoming Nottinghamshire Sports Awards, for their delivery of the 2015 CPISRA World Games.

Cerebral Palsy Sport, the country's leading disability sports organisation supporting people with cerebral palsy to reach their sporting potential, is among the shortlist of nominees for the upcoming Nottinghamshire Sports Awards. Nominated for Project of the Year for their delivery of 2015 CPISRA World Games, which took place at sporting venues across the city in August.

In August 2015, Cerebral Palsy Sport 'welcomed the world' to Nottingham for the CPISRA World Games. The international event saw over 400 athletes and coaches from 13 nations competed across six sports - athletics, bowls, football, para-taekwondo, swimming and table cricket.

The Games were a great success, featuring both an opening and closing ceremony with support from local dance and arts groups. Along with over 200 volunteers known as Games Starters worked alongside Cerebral Palsy Sport to ensure the event ran smoothly.

Cerebral Palsy Sport is delighted to be shortlisted for the award. It was a fantastic acheivement for the organisation to deliver the event and a great showcase for the city of Nottingham.

The Nottinghamshire Sports Awards are an annual event organised by Sport Nottinghamshire (County Sports Partnership) and Nottinghamshire County Council to celebrate sporting achievement.

They acknowledge athletes, coaches, volunteers and organisations at all levels.
