Supporting sport and active leisure for people with physical disabilities
For many people with a physical disability it can be difficult to join in or participate in a sport or leisure activity of their own choice. Parafed Wellington can make it easier for members to achieve that goal.
Parafed Wellington recognises the "No Exceptions" policy and is an advocate and facilitator for members with disabilities to have access to sporting and recreational activities. Parafed Wellington is committed to providing assistance and resources, including funding assistance for equipment.
Some of our programmes are integrated with mainstream sports and we have developed ongoing partnerships with many able bodied sports organisations.
Parafed Wellington has special partnerships with Sport Wellington, and in particular their Sport Development and Sport Opportunity programmes.
