Does anyone know if WhizzKidz or another charity/other route might loan a set out to a school to promote inclusion in P.E.?

Many thanks, Kate

Our local wheelchair basketball club was always happy to lend us wheelchairs for events. We have now fundraised with support from local charities to buy a set of 7 chairs of our own for use in IZB etc.

Hi Kate

Go Kids Go is a charity who are local to us but work nationally.  They normally provide workshops to schools where they can do demonstrations and everyone can have a go at a range of skills and wheelchair basketball or dance.  Not sure if they are able to loan chairs for your purpose but they might be aware of someone more local to you who could.

My local wheelchair basketball club will often lend chairs, and also the accessibility sports advisor at the local council as access to chairs he can loan on a short term basis.
