Cumbria Wheelchair Sports Club

Cumbria Wheelchair Sports Club sent us some great pictures of people enjoying being back at the club and participating in sporting activities again. Our grant earlier in the year helped to fund coaching and court hire core costs in the aftermath of the pandemic when fundraising was difficult and member numbers were having to be restricted.

The club has both young and elderly disabled members who take part in a variety of sessions such as wheelchair basketball, tennis and fitness training.  Members say they feel better for being physically active again, they feel less lonely and have a renewed sense of purpose and excitement.
