Wheelchair Rugby was first created as a sport for people with Spinal Cord Injuries who were not physically functional enough to play other disability sports such as Wheelchair Basketball. All players at the NE Bulls WRC have impairments or disabilities effecting both their arms and legs meaning they struggle with a lot of day to day tasks. Wheelchair Rugby is a sport that they are able to compete in equally and is adapted to their limited function. The Bulls are one of two clubs in the north-east and first established in 2002. The club can be described as a lifeline for some of its members as without the provision of this sport, some members would be completely inactive. The NE Bulls WRC would like to make the sport as accessible as possible for those with a disability and as such have decided to raise funds on an annual basis in order to purchase wheelchairs which can be used by new players when they join the club. As a Charity, any funds raised by the club are used to further the clubs objective - the relief of disabled people by the promotion of disability sport and in particular Wheelchair Rugby in County Durham, Teesside & North Yorkshire. The charity’s main purpose is to play wheelchair rugby in accordance with the rules of the sport (including rules for any discipline of the sport) as set out by the World Wheelchair Rugby (WWR) and/or by Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby Ltd (GBWR).

Story

The North East Bulls Wheelchair Rugby Club established in 2002 and has been the social hub for it's members ever since. The club enters a team into the national league run by the governing body, Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby. The club is an integral part of our members lives and most importantly for a lot of our members, their recovery following a life changing spinal cord injury.

The North East Bulls WRC are a registered charity in England, and our sole purpose is the relief of disabled people through sport. Through wheelchair rugby we endeavour to improve the lives of our members and make a positive impact on their physical, social and mental wellbeing.

Over the years the club has been committed to make wheelchair rugby as accessible as possible for our members, and we seek to dampen the financial impact our sport has on our members. Through rugby wheelchair chair grants and covering accommodation expenses while attending competitions, the club have helped our members over come the financial barriers they would normally be faced with.

We are finding it increasingly difficult to help with these costs now alongside competition entry fee’s, training venue hire aswell as wheelchair maintenance and so we are seeking to raise essential funds to help our club continue to make a positive impact on our members lives.

Please help us to reach our fundraising target, we are seeking sponsorship, grant funding and donations. To speak with us about any sponsorship opportunities please get in touch with us at info@nebullswrc.com
