“We are looking for anyone interested in getting involved in a new Special Olympics Club to get in touch or to come along to an interest meeting we are holding in Ballymena.

“We also require volunteers to help with the running of a Special Olympics Club – there are various volunteer roles to get involved in and no previous sports experience is required,” the spokesperson added.
