A charity is set to welcome up to 50 people with disabilities to a sports festival.

The 2024 Buckinghamshire Sports Festival will be held on December 5 and will give participants the chance to try out different wheelchair sports.

The event is being organised by WheelPower, a charity based in Stoke Mandeville.

There will be five sports on offer, including wheelchair basketball, cricket, boccia, table tennis and athletics.

The sessions will be run by experienced coaches from disability sports clubs, with the help of volunteers.

This one-day event is open to anyone with a physical disability and is suitable for both children and adults.

Trish, who took part in the 2023 event, said: "It’s my first time at a WheelPower Sports Festival and it’s been a really good day.

"I’ve never done archery before and I managed to hit the bullseye which was amazing.

"I’ve never done pickleball either which was a lot of fun, and I even did a bit of boccia too.

"As well as the sport it’s just been fun meeting other people I’ve never met before and getting my competitiveness on."

WheelPower has been providing sporting opportunities for people with physical impairments for more than 75 years.

Last year, the charity supported more than 70,000 disabled people to participate in sport and activity across the country.
