WheelPower’s Sports Festival is open to anyone with a physical disability who is aged five years old to adult (activities will be split into appropriate age group) and everyone is encouraged to come along and try everything. As well as enjoying the many sports on offer, the WheelPower Sports Festivals are mostly about having fun, making new friends and discovering what’s on offer nearer to where you live.

Kuldip, 57 from London who attended a previous Festival said: ‘Coming to the London Sports Festival 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.’
