Bucks Radio's Charity of the Month Wheelpower welcomed a number of disabled people as they attended an all day wheelchair sports event at the Colchester Sports Park in Essex.
Matthew French from the charity told us all about it:
Emily Weller, Head of Sport, WheelPower, said:
“The WheelPower Festivals are for many the first time trying a particular sport and it is our hope that these days inspire disabled people to lead healthier and more active lives when they return home. Sport has so many physical, social and wellbeing benefits and the smiles we saw in Colchester say it all."
