Life changing wheelchair sports event returns to Stoke Mandeville Stadium

More than 90 children have taken part in the National Junior Games at Stoke Mandeville Stadium.

Organised by WheelPower, the national charity for wheelchair sport this event brings together disabled children from across the country for a life changing week of sport and activity at the birthplace of the Paralympic movement.

The children were able to try 19 different sports and achieve their personal best scores through a variety of fun and exciting challenges.

One of the participants was 16 year old Lauren, who was at her first WheelPower games.

She said, “It’s my first year here and it’s been amazing. I’ve tried pretty much every sport and all the coaches and volunteers have been so good. They have filled me with so much confidence and despite my initial nerves I even gave wheelchair fencing a go and absolutely loved it. Thank you WheelPower, it’s been an amazing opportunity.”
