Disabled people face significant barriers with regards to taking part in sport and physical activity. For a number of years we have been supporting our Jesters Wheelchair Rugby teams to engage with more children, young people and adults so as to provide opportunities which enable participation in team sport and which improve health and wellbeing. There is a constant need for additional funding to support the teams and resource them properly with kit, equipment, coaching, venue hire and events.

We want to build up our Jesters wheelchair rugby programme so as to be able to provide more local people with disabilities the opportunity to both take part in regular physical activity and to compete within the various wheelchair rugby teams that we run. Funding would enable us to grow and further develop our teams whilst also ensuring that cost isn't a barrier to participation for those wanting to get involved. We would be able to provide additional coaching and access to facilities and events
