Portland College CAMPAIGN: Fundraisers try out wheelchair rugby for £2m college campaign

The group, with many newcomers to the disability sport, got fully stuck in to playing the fast-paced Paralympic sport.

The event raised a superb £110 towards the college’s £2m fundraising drive to construct a new state-of-the-art Inclusive Sports Academy.

College chiefs say the massive cash injection will allow them provide a state-of-the-art centre of excellence for disability sport and offer new opportunities from grassroots to elite level competitors.

The ambitious life-changing academy would also be open to the wider community through link-ups with disability clubs and sporting organisations.

If you know any businesses looking for team-building events or community/sports groups who might like to try Wheelchair Rugby or another disability sport, get in touch with the fundraising team on 01623 499141.
