World Taekwondo Grand Prix Explores Accessibility and Inclusion with Pioneering Partnership
British Taekwondo Limited
We are the National Governing Body of Taekwondo in the UK.
The Manchester 2023 World Taekwondo Grand Prix Final and the national social care charity Community Integrated Care came together to change the lives of almost 50 local people who access care and support and inspire many more.
The charity joined forces with British Taekwondo to explore how this prestigious event could pioneer both greater accessibility and inclusion. Through delivering innovative social impact programmes, listening to the lived experiences of people who access care and support, and exploring how the event could be designed to promote greater independence and wellbeing, the partnership broke new ground.
At the heart of this relationship was the delivery of Community Integrated Care’s award-winning Inclusive Volunteering? Programme, which builds the skills, independence and confidence of people who access social care, through delivering innovative training, experiences, and vocational placements at major events.
It's amazing to see your dedication to integrating the community through the art of Taekwondo ?? Bruce Lee once said - Be water, my friend. Just as Taekwondo teaches flexibility and strength, adapting to every situation can lead to success. Keep inspiring us with your journey! ???? #Inspiration #TaekwondoLife
