About Dundee City Disability Sport.
Dundee City Disability Sport started life as the "Dundee City Disability Sports Association for the Disabled" (DCSAD) was formed back in 1981. This was Dundee District Council's main contribution to the "International Year of the Disabled. DCDS is a registered charity in Scotland. Scottish Charity No. SCO22333.
The DCSAD continued until 2001 when a new and exciting time for the branch was evolving. At this time the association changed its name to "Dundee City Disability Sport". Dundee City Disability Sport in partnership with Dundee City Council has a vision of its role:
"To lead the development of sport and physical recreation for people of all ages with a disability within Dundee City"
The committee embarked on a four year development plan and a revamped constitution. This four year plan has now come to an end and DCDS now plans to work in partnership with Dundee City Sports Council to further develop sporting opportunities for people with a disability in the future.
Operating now for 25 years Dundee City Disability Sport is one of the longest established branches within Scottish Disability Sport, the national governing body for disability sport. Working in partnership with Dundee City Council, successive branch management committees have made a significant contribution to the development of sports for people with a disability within the city and throughout Scotland.
Dundee City Disability Sport works closely with the council's Disability Sports Officers, this continued support is crucial to the development of the association, and DCDS is very grateful to the ongoing support received from these officers and Dundee City Council as a whole.
