“We are really looking forward to bringing our Sports Festival to Essex and transforming the lives of more disabled people through sport and activity. The most important thing about the day is for everyone to have fun and to go away with new skills and knowledge to help you to continue playing sport and be more active in the future.” Emily Weller, Head of Sport WheelPower.
The WheelPower Sports Festivals support disabled people of all ages to discover sport in a safe and welcoming environment. People such as Nicki from Kent, “I have attended many WheelPower Sports Festivals before and they are really well organised. I tried several new sports and I would recommend the event to others. You don’t need to worry about being too young or too old, it’s about self-belief, so come along and give it a try.”
