The association continues to go from strength to strength. The Charity continues to support Dwarf Athletes UK wide and continues to provide opportunities for athletes and their families to come together for recreation and sport. We are maintaining our work with the sports governing bodies including Sport England to promote and further opportunities for Dwarf Sports Association UK in the future.
