WheelPower’s Sports Festival is open to anyone with a physical disability, from the age of 5 years to Adult. Please note that activities will be split into appropriate age groups.
“Coming to the Sports Festival today has really opened my eyes to so many options that are out there for people like me. As well as playing lots of sport I’ve met loads of great people who I will be staying in touch with afterwards. When you have an injury you think it’s the end of the world and you can’t do various things. But with the support of organisations like WheelPower to reintroduce activities back into your life it can still be amazing and can make such a difference.” Kuldip, 57 from London.
