In partnership with WheelPower, Wheel Appeal provides sports wheelchairs for individuals with disabilities in the UK.

Playing sport is a relatively simple thing to do. You just need a pair of trainers, a tracksuit, and depending on what you want to do maybe a racquet and a ball.

Unfortunately it’s not always that easy for someone with a disability.

Before a disabled person can even start thinking about which sport to play, where to play it or even what to wear, they need to overcome their biggest barrier and find a suitable sports wheelchair.

To date the Wheel Appeal has provided over 600 new sports wheelchairs to individuals, clubs and groups.

The Wheel Appeal provides 'standard' manual sports wheelchair or grants towards 'bespoke' sports wheelchairs for individuals or to clubs/organisations who are working in partnership with WheelPower.

Unfortunately the Wheel Appeal does not provide funds towards power wheelchairs.
