News from Len Duvall OBE: New Chair of South London Special League

Len Duvall OBE AM has been appointed as the new Chair of the South London Special League, at their AGM on Wednesday 15^th November.

South London Special League is a unique award-winning registered charity that provides opportunities for disabled people in South London, male and female, to improve their lives through participation in competitive sport on a regular basis.

The organisation was launched in 2004 to provide a competitive football league for young disabled people and in so doing to break down the social and environmental barriers to inclusion. This successful formula has been used to open up a wider range of sports to a diverse disabled community of all ages.

Since its conception over five thousand disabled players have experienced the fun and friendship of sport through the South London Special League.

Len Duvall AM said “It is both an honour and a pleasure to have been appointed Chair of the South London Special League, and to be able to actively support their work.

There is no doubt that the Special League are doing great work in supporting disabled people both young and adult, not only to get active, but to gain confidence and new skills which they can use in their wider lives.

I am especially looking forward to the league’s World Cup Tournament for younger disabled and special needs footballers from Greenwich, Lewisham, Bexley and Bromley next May.”
