    National sports centre Inverclyde

    My room was great and my chair fit had room for every room and door in the facility. My only grievance is the doors to the rooms were a bit heavy and I had to have someone help me in and out of my room. Staff were lovely and very helpful. Accessible wet room toilet was great.

    A sporting chance for Disabled Access Day

    I visited inverclyde sports centre on Saturday 16th of March 2019 which was Disabled Access day, it was an interesting visit to see the centre’s sports and fitness facilities. In the afternoon we were able to try some accessible sports of boccia and archery. The centre is a specialist parasports centre where the British and scottish boccia teams go to train. The upper half of the centre houses accessible bedrooms with hoists. Some rooms also have an adjoining room for a personal assistant. The centre will occasionally if there is availability, provide bed and breakfast within this accommodation on request, However, this is not general practice and it is always best to enquire first.
