St George's students launch campaign


The campaign is part of a global movement to break down barriers for young people with learning disabilities.
The Youth Summit was one of eight across the country to launch Play Unified, a new Special Olympics GB campaign to use sport and leadership skills to change perceptions and attitudes towards young people with intellectual disabilities. Ultimately, Play Unified seeks to break down barriers that exist for people with intellectual disabilities – both on and off the pitch.
