Panathlon Foundation

The Panathlon Foundation is a charity that gives children with disabilities and special needs in England, Wales and Northern Ireland opportunities to engage in competitive sport that they are so often otherwise denied.

Formed in 1996 by Ashley Iceton, the Panathlon Foundation Ltd (registered charity 1072638), provides sports coaching within schools, sports equipment to schools, sports training to teachers, coaches and young leaders, and primarily sporting competitions. Panathlon is aimed at children aged 5 to 19 years with Physical disabilities and Learning Disabilities. They also have specific visual impairment and deaf programmes. As of July 2020, Panathlon works with SEN schools and SEN units in mainstream schools across 43 counties in England and Wales.
