Our fundraising volunteers take on many roles at WheelPower. From organising fundraising events with our staff, to speaking to local groups about the importance of sport and ways to support us.
Our fundraising volunteers are the friendly face of WheelPower in their local communities and they raise awareness about wheelchair sport and most importantly, they help us raise money to enable disabled people to lead fit and active lives..
