Performance Wheelchair Charity Team Build Challenge

 

Why?

We have had phemoninal success with this challenge. In 2015 alone, this challenge enabled us to donate 31 performance wheelchairs to the likes of Help for Heroes and SSAFA the armed forces charity. The chairs are used to give access to sport for recreation and recovery from both physical and mental illnesses. They facilitate a team playing opportunity, which really encourages and supports mental health recovery.

​

This challenge has also enabled us to set up 2 wheelchair basketball teams in East London, working with the Charity Choice International. You can read more about this initiative here.

 

Why? What's in it for you?

A fast paced challenge that puts a team on its toes right from the start. Provided with limited resources and limited knowledge, teams will need to source parts and expertise if they are going to complete the Sports Wheelchair before the final team performance.

 

How it Works

Working in teams of up to 10, each team needs to build and then compete in their Sports Wheelchair.

 

To begin with each team is provided with a chassis and some simple instructions, their next step is to acquire the additional parts required to complete the Sport Wheelchair. In order to do this they will take part in crystal maze style challenges and dependent on the result of these will enable them to get the parts they need. They will also have to negotiate with the technicians if they need help with the assembly.

Finally when all the Sports Wheelchairs are assembled, the teams get to either race or compete in a wheelchair basket ball match.

 

At the end of the event the Sports Wheelchairs are donated to an all ability Sports Club or an Armed Forces Charity.

 

Suitable for groups from 16 – 600.
