Dubai – As part of its continuous CSR initiatives and giving back to the local community, LEGOLAND® Dubai Resort invited 25 members of Dubai Club for People of Determination, aged 16 to 45 years with limited intellectual and physical abilities, together with 25 of their supervisors and volunteers to spend a day at the family-friendly LEGOLAND Dubai theme park.

Dubai Club for People of Determination was established in 1993 with the aim of rehabilitating the people of determination both physically and intellectually to play their developing roles in the community in the areas of sports, culture and society. Furthermore, as a gracious gift by the late His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum, a Ladies’ Club was founded and built in July 2002, offering a specific section for ladies to play an effective part in the Club. As cultural growth is a component of human development, the Club constantly organized various activities, trainings, seminars and rehabilitation services to help those of determination, overcome the many obstacles they face and integrate them into society.

To support this vision, the management and team of LEGOLAND Dubai Resort were happy to invite 25 members of Dubai Club for People of Determination aged 16 to 45 years with limited intellectual and physical abilities, together with 25 of their supervisors and volunteers to visit LEGOLAND Dubai theme park. Here, the group explored many of the 40 family-friendly rides

and attractions, thanks to the accessibility facilities and services offered at the park that enabled everyone to enjoy an awesome LEGOLAND adventure on the day.

This CSR initiative is one of several collaborations to take place between LEGOLAND Dubai Resort and Dubai Club for People pf Determination in the year 2023 as well as other local and regional organisations, as part of its commitment to giving back to the local community.
