Sportability is pleased to announce a 2020 collaboration with the Lawn Tennis Association.
Together we will be bringing indoor wheelchair tennis to, at least, nine of our regions around the country. Watch this space for details of events and make sure you book to take part!
Everyone within the Sportability remit is welcomed. Sports wheelchairs and coaching will be provided.
We are delighted to announce that a London based PR company, Maltin PR, have ‘adopted’ Sportability as their chosen charity partner.
Following a meeting late last year, the team at Maltin led by Chief Executive and company founder, Tim Maltin, were so enthused by the Sportability attitude and ethos that they have taken on our Charity as a non-fee paying client. Yes, that is correct! They are providing their services completely free of charge as part of their own Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategy.
Tim Maltin commented: “We are delighted to be working with David and his small but dedicated team. […]

Once again, Jane Mackenzie, our wonderful Area Organiser, has raised over £650 for Sportability. Jane held her annual coffee morning in October and as you can see from the picture there were cakes galore! Thank you Jane.
Let’s make August – Sportability Fundraising Month
A Fun Fundraiser for your Charity
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here’s a thought: Why don’t we make August a Fundraising Month?
Many of you will be browning the burgers, charring the chops and singeing the sausages in the sunshine (ahem) of this August. So why not simply ask your guests to make a small donation in thanks for their fantastic meal? Maybe even have a raffle?
One of our Area Organisers, Jane Mackenzie holds an annual coffee morning – nothing fancy cakes and coffee – and raises an amazing amount for the cause we all believe in – Sportability!
So, if […]
With a Little Help from our Friends…. Area Organisers Needed
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
We’re proud to advise that Sportability now operates in 13 regions of the UK, and we are looking to expand!
The growth of the Charity had been driven by a network of key volunteer supporters – our Area Organisers. If you’ve ever been to a Sportability event chances are you’ll be there because of them.
These are our local ‘heroes’ based out in the regions, who source Service Providers, organise the events, act as our Ambassadors, provide information, stimulation and inspiration to people in their region. They are the face, the […]

Trish will be racing at the European Champs in June 2017, which are being held in Dusseldorf, and she has also qualified for the World Champs in Rotterdam.
This will be Trish’s last year in international racing, but the unstoppable competitor will still be battling in the British Champs and local races.
We wish Trish the very best in all her endeavours!
