Simply Judo Cregagh

Simply Judo Cregagh, one of Northern Ireland’s leading judo clubs, continues its role in fostering community integration through its “Simply Judo Connects” refugee inclusion initiative. The programme brings together refugee and local children in weekly classes designed to enhance confidence, social bonds and inclusion through structured judo instruction. Under the guidance of coaches including Mark Montgomery and Scott Mayne, the club emphasizes a supportive, inclusive environment tailored for beginners and experienced young athletes alike, welcoming students from age five in an adaptive, community-focused setting. Simply Judo Cregagh’s ongoing efforts illustrate the role of regional sports organisations in promoting social cohesion and inclusive youth development.
