WheelPower the national charity for wheelchair sport have been providing opportunities for people with physical impairments to take part in sport for over 75 years. Based at Stoke Mandeville Stadium, the birthplace of the Paralympic movement, WheelPower is at the heart of wheelchair sport.

Attending WheelPower events doesn’t just carry benefits for the participants, it can be a life changing experience for their friends & family too. Take Malachy for example:

Malachy attended his first WheelPower National Junior Games in 2023 along with his grandmother and guardian, Lucy.

Here is what Lucy had to say about Malachy’s time at the National Junior Games:

"I didn’t think there was a lot of hope going forward, but this event has given me so much. Every person I have spoken to has given me leaflets or telephone numbers, or email addresses or clubs that we can get to nearer to home. We’ve got opportunities that we’d never thought we’d have, and now we can explore different avenues."
