We’ll also look at ways to support your child’s big emotions and help you respond with care and compassion. ​Join us for a supportive discussion focused on balancing your child’s needs with your own wellbeing.

Wakefield Whirlwinds Wheelchair Basketball Club.

Whirlwinds is a wheelchair basketball club, a sports club, but it’s also much more. We provide opportunities for those with physical disabilities/difficulties, their friends and families to take part in wheelchair sport. It needn’t be competitive, (although we do have 2 National League teams, 2 Women’s League teams, 2 Development, Junior League, U-15’s and U-14’s, where the lower age is flexible … ‘if you can, then why not do it!’ ) but we encourage people to use wheelchair sport for health and well being, encourage social activities and also break down the barrier of isolation. The club is open to all ages .. if a child is able to self propel a wheelchair then they are able, through the club, to get on a pathway that might eventually lead to them representing their country at the Paralympics or European and World Championships, but that pathway can also be signposted as ‘a sport for life’ where you’re never too old! The club has a stock of sports wheelchairs for newcomers and/or for outreach, which can be one-to-one sessions in schools, PE sessions for a small group to a whole school, ‘have a go’ sessions, corporate and community events, a thriving junior […]
