Toyota GB has reinforced its support for inclusive, grassroots sport by extending its Official Mobility Partner agreement with the charity Special Olympics Great Britain GB for a further two years.
Prior to this national partnership, Toyota has had a longstanding relationship with the Special Olympics movement globally, serving as a regional partner for Special Olympics Europe Eurasia since 2020 and a global partner of Special Olympics International since 2017.
Toyota’s partnership with Special Olympics GB, established in 2023, has made a significant impact in helping transform the lives of people with intellectual learning disabilities.
At the end of last year, the Toyota Coaching Fund was created to help Special Olympics GB athletes and volunteers upskill and develop their coaching credentials, completing qualifications across Special Olympics GB’s 27 competition sports.
As of the end of July, a total of 74 applications from across the country have been received for the fund. This is well on track to achieve a target of supporting 100 coaches.
