Help Our Island Stars Reach the 2026 Special Olympics!

We are Sporting Opportunities Isle of Wight, and our athletes are on a mission.

After an incredible year of success, including an 11-medal haul at the Lee Valley Athletics competition, we are setting our sights on the biggest stage yet, The Special Olympics Great Britain 2026 National Summer Games in Birmingham.

Our athletes have the talent and the heart, now, we need the funds to get them across the Solent and onto the podium.

Why We Need Your Help

As a volunteer-run charity, we rely on our community to make these dreams a reality. Your donations will fund:

• Travel: Ferry crossings and mainland transport for athletes and coaches.

• Accommodation: A safe, accessible home base for the 5-day event in Birmingham.

• The New Kit: Professional, high-quality gear so our team can represent the Island with pride.
