WheelPower are dedicated to providing opportunities for disabled people to find a sport they enjoy and provide opportunities throughout the year to introduce people to wheelchair sport..

According to WheelPower's website - 45,000 disabled people played sport at Stoke Mandeville Stadium in 2016.The amount people coming for all around the country to train for the GB team, attend a sports camp, or participate in a disability sport at the famous venue recognised as the birthplace of the Paralympic movement has increased by 17%.

Sport can develop confidence and improve fitness but it’s also a great wayto have fun and make friends. There are tremendous physical and psychological benefits, whatever your age or ability and that’s why more and more people are joining our sport events.
