Our mission: The Special Social Club wants to create an environment where people with disabilities can be themselves, feel normal, make friends, dance with each other and experience the evening of their lives. Besides the Special Social Club parties, we will also start the Special Social Sport Club. During sports there are many moments to meet new people and make friends.

We will open big with the Special Social Sport Club: We will enter the Marathon of Amsterdam and finish the run with at least 10 people with a disability. The Special Social Sport Club is not part of our project plan yet, because we are still discussing with some partners to help us train for the marathon and set up the sport club, where we can practice sports and socialize with people with a disability.
