USEFUL LINKS
This list of links has been compiled as a result of many requests for information of websites for organisations providing activities. It is important to note that all wheelchair users have their own individual capabilities and that prior consultation about the suitability of the activity with those providing it is essential.
Also some of the activities included could be classed as extreme sports and as such can involve an element of risk. Although the providers carry appropriate insurance, just like any able bodied person before taking part you may be asked to sign to say that you understand this.
