Introduction

The inception of SDSC’s Sports Partnership Promotion Grant (SPPG) is to promote and encourage partners of SDSC to organize sports programme or events at introductory and recreational levels. The objective of SPPG is to be a vehicle to support SDSC’s partners and stakeholders to deliver holistic sports programme that benefits everyone and anyone with disabilities.

SPPG 2007 looks into engulfing support to all disabled organizations, including VWOs who are not affiliated to SDSC. The strategy for this transformation is to promote greater disability sports participation outside the affiliation of SDSC. The interest of VWOs who are affiliated to SDSC will not be diluted for they will enjoy better support as compared to VWO who are not affiliated.
