Sunderland Echo

Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby (GBWR) is heading to Sunderland next week as the governing body places a spotlight on their Women & Girls Talent Programme ahead of the Rugby World Cup.

With activities planned from Tuesday, August 19, to Thursday, August 21, at the Beacon of Light, GBWR hopes to inspire more women and girls to take up wheelchair rugby via 'Come & Try' sessions and scheduled matches, both of which are open to members of the public to participate in or watch.

Wheelchair rugby is the only mixed-gender full contact sport at the Paralympic Games and the GB team won Gold at the 2020 Tokyo Games.
