Help Us Raise £4,000 to Buy Our First Junior Rugby Wheelchair.
We have a short term loan of junior wheelchairs from the governing body Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby (GBWR), however, this is only a short term loan, we need to raise £40,000 to buy 10 specialist rugby wheelchairs.
Our Junior Members of the team:
Will is Rugby Mad
Wills Dad, Gary said
"the inclusivity the team shows is a reason he keeps coming back.....being the same as everyone else makes all the difference"
When Will plays wheelchair rugby he is the same as everyone else and he gets to use his amazing wheelchair skills.
Grace Loves Sport
"I wanted to play a wheelchair sport, as I am a full time wheelchair user"
Grace loves to play in a mixed wheelchair sport and is as good as the boys.
Daniel Loves The Contact
"I love that everyone is the same when playing wheelchair rugby "
Daniel is the most experienced of our junior players and he helps all the new junior players.
Ben Is Our Newest Player
"If you're independent and up to it, then just do it. Don't be so hesitant."
Ben loves playing wheelchair rugby as it makes him feel like everyone else.
With Your Help, We Can Help Our Junior Players Keep Playing Wheelchair Rugby
Help us to enable kids with permanent physical disabilities the opportunity to play sport and compete with people in similar situations.
