Get Kids Going!

Get Kids Going! Is a National Charity that inspires British disabled youngsters to compete in sporting events, from grass roots right the way through to paralympic level, by giving them 'sports grants' to help with their; training, physiotherapy, travel, competition fees, design and development of sports' wheelchairs.

GBWR is grateful to Get Kids Going for providing 6 athletes with funding for new rugby chairs this year. The timing has allowed the athletes the opportunity to adjust to their new chairs, prior to participating in the Paralympic Wheelchair Rugby Test Event in April and the Canada Cup in Vancouver in June. This will allow them to be at peak form for the 2012 London Paralympic Games. GBWR would like to thank Get Kids Going! for their continued support of these bright stars.
