WOW!!

We have already had a fantastic and exciting start to the year. Following our recent application to the Charities Commission, Wheelies Sport and Activity Club has been granted charitable status on 11th January 2012. Our Registered Charity Number is 1145417. Our main aims for this year are to step up our fundraising activities to enable more members to join our club and share some of the wonderful experiences we have to offer, so please get in touch!

Our Club

Our club is run and governed entirely by volunteers and meets on a Saturday morning, normally at Tytherington High School from 11-1pm. (Please check the activity programme for confirmation of the venue.)

The club provides a wide variety of wheelchair sports and activities (eg basketball, boccia, football, sailing, swimming, cycling, trampolining, ten pin bowling, crown green bowling, archery and skiing) and caters for all age groups with members throughout Cheshire East and the surrounding areas.

Our next event begins in                                          and is Hand Cycling  at Wythenshawe Park

Our superstars

We are very lucky to have a former basketball paralympian as one of our member coaches and another former track paralympian member may be involved in the 2012 Olympics - watch this space! 

Calvert

Funds permitting, the highlight of the Wheelies year is a challenging week long activity holiday at a specialised residential outdoor pursuits centre, The Calvert Trust in Keswick. This centre provides specialised equipment and skilled, qualified staff to enable disabled people to participate fully in a fantastic range of adventurous and challenging outdoor activities. This holiday has become a life enriching experience for all our members who have participated and the personal achievements during the week, shared by the whole group, have inspired others to overcome their fears, to aim higher and achieve more.

Fundraising

The club is funded primarily through our own fundraising activities and donations. We have several special charity events this year starting with a Diamond Ball in April and closely followed by a Coast to Coast ride organised by the Macclesfield Roundtable in June, covering 132 miles over 3 days.

We hope to have "Gift Aid" set up soon so that future donations will be able to be Gift Aid Donations. 

The Wheelies club was founded by the late Mike Pomfret in 2001 and the club continues to go from strength to strength which is testament to Mike and all our members.
