About this organisation

The Upside Down Sports Club enables school-aged wheelchair users to enjoy sports in a friendly and supportive environment:

  • New opportunities for children with disabilities;
  • Promoting independence and self esteem;
  • Social forum for parents of children with disabilities;
  • Sponsorship for children with disabilities wanting to specialise in a particular sport.

Sessions are held on the first Saturday of every month.  Please contact us if you are interested in joining the club or volunteering.
