VILLALBA DEL ALCOR (HUELVA), 6 (EUROPA PRESS)
The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sports has granted several subsidies aimed at promoting sports for people with disabilities, who carry out their activities within Andalusian Sports Entities. Within the scope of this aid, the CD Equs Caballus of Villalba del Alcor (Huelva) has received 6,000 euros for the acquisition of two adapted saddles.
The territorial delegate of the branch, Teresa Herrera, visited this Tuesday the facilities of the team, which develops its sports program at the Club La Vega in Villalba del Alcor, as indicated by the Board in a note.
The head of the department has indicated that “the purpose of the call has been the provision of inventoryable sports equipment and material, of a non-fungible nature, that is specific for the practice of sport for people with disabilities and that is related to the modalities or sports specialties developed by our sports clubs. In total, subsidies have been granted to seven sports entities, for an amount of 27,965 euros.
This call will make it possible to promote some projects aimed at athletes with disabilities that are already being carried out by Huelva clubs, such as the CD Los Palitos (San Juan del Puerto), swimming and athletics aimed at people with intellectual disabilities, the CD Bádminton Huelva, which has been developing the ‘Badminton without Barriers Project’ for several years, with the participation of wheelchair shuttler Francisco Motero, recent European DX champion, in the qualification process to represent us at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
«New projects may also be promoted, such as the Huelva Adapted Sports Club, promoting boccia among athletes with cerebral palsy, supporting the practice of CD Ciudad de Huelva, chess for blind athletes and those with some physical disability; canoeing for athletes with disabilities in the CD Náutico Punta Umbría; or horse riding adapted to people with physical and/or sensory disabilities in the Equs Caballus CD (Villalba del Alcor), as we are seeing today,” added Herrera.
Another of the beneficiary initiatives is the CD Tartessos Huelva dragon boat canoeing project for the BCS (Breast Cancer Survivor) category, whose crew “is mainly made up of women who have suffered from breast cancer and whose sporting activity is highly recommended, both for the muscular and emotional strength that it represents for the recovery of the paddlers after the surgical intervention,” Herrera concluded.
The call is articulated within the framework of recognition and respect for the right of people with disabilities to enjoy measures that guarantee their access to the practice of sport under equal conditions and is justified due to the public interest of the activities carried out by the clubs. sports that have athletes with some type of disability, by establishing measures that allow the acquisition of sports material and equipment that contributes to promoting the corresponding sports modalities within the Autonomous Community and, consequently, to the promotion of sports practice. among citizens who have some type of disability.
