From wheelchair rugby to walking, craft to cookery - there’s more going on in your community than you may realise. 

With an engaging and varied range of inclusive sporting and social activities in your area, you can build connections, boost your physical and mental wellbeing and enjoy some awesome events in great company. 

What’s on offer?

Lots. And with new activities added regularly, there's something for everyone. You could try gym sessions, swimming, archery, boccia, mountain biking, paddleboarding, tennis, walking, cycling and a whole lot more. 

Social activities for you and your family include things like walks, quizzes, arts and crafts, museum visits, cookery and photography. There's lots to discover and enjoy together. 

Weekly virtual get-togethers have given me a social life. I’ve enjoyed walks, kayaking, archery and segway sessions, which were hilarious. We went to rugby games in Edinburgh. That all built up my confidence and social skills again.

What's on in my area now?

Get in the game with wheelchair basketball

Combining speed, skill, and power, this exciting and fast paced version of the game is all about teamwork, strategy, and adrenaline-fueled competition—plus, it’s a great way to stay active while having fun!

We've partnered with British Wheelchair Basketball so you can experience this welcoming and social game for yourself. You don't need experience, or to be a wheelchair user, as players of all abilities compete together.  

And if you like it, you can take the next step and join a local club. 

Unleash your inner archer 

Do you have the skill, focus, and accuracy to hit the mark each time? Find out at these archery taster sessions. 

This engaging sport is suitable for anyone to enjoy, is great for physical health, and even better, helps you unwind from the stresses of your day.

We've partnered with Archery GB so you can experience expert tuition in a supportive and friendly environment. It's suitable for all abilities, plus all equipment is provided—just show up and give it a go! 

Even better, if you like it, you'll be able to carry on with a local club. 

Row your way to fitness 

Indoor rowing is a fantastic way to get fit. It's a cardiovascular workout, uses muscles in nine major muscle groups, and is great for core strength and flexibility.

We've teamed up with Go Row to bring you fun and sociable group exercise classes that combine indoor rowing and circuit-based exercises. Suitable for all abilities and run by certified Go Row indoor instructors, these classes really are the ideal all round workout.

Enjoyed it? Why not join the club?

Are you already getting support from us?

Get involved

Help for Heroes have been there to support me too. We’ve both been able to take part in fun activities and meet with other families. Having that support network has been really important for us both.
