New partnership serves up inclusive sport

A South Yorkshire charitable foundation is strengthening its support for inclusive sport through a new partnership to benefit disabled young people.

The Scarborough Group Foundation (SGF), the charitable arm of property developer Scarborough Group International, has teamed up with the Nick Matthew Foundation to deliver squash coaching programmes. 

Inspired by three-time World Squash Champion Nick Matthew, the initiative partners with organisations such as Talbot Specialist School, in Sheffield, to make racket sports more accessible and to build confidence, focus and fitness in young people with disabilities.

Nick said: “Scarborough Group has supported me throughout my professional journey, and I’m incredibly proud to continue that relationship in a new and meaningful way. 

“This partnership enables us to give back to the community by making racket sports more inclusive and accessible. 

“It’s about using sport not just for fitness, but as a tool to build confidence, resilience and joy in the lives of young people with disabilities.”

The partnership complements a growing charitable portfolio, with SGF also supporting causes including Leeds Hospital Charity, Limb Power, Scotty’s Little Soldiers, Racquets Cubed and West Coast Wheelchair Rugby

Scott McCabe, trustee of SGF, added: “As a family and a Foundation, we’ve always believed in investing in the potential of young people. 

“This partnership with the Nick Matthew Foundation reflects our shared values and our commitment to using sport as a catalyst for positive change. 

“We’re proud to help grow this brilliant programme and support more young people across Sheffield and the wider region.”
