Isaac is the President of a very cool
organisation
called,
Wheels
&
Wheelchairs. Here is some insight into
what the organisation is and what it
does...
We are a group of wheelchair users
and skaters who go out together to
enjoy the sensory rush of speed and
accessible sport.
Wheelchair users are pushed by s
katers. We meet on Saturdays in
Battersea Park, London, with the Easy
Saturday Skate group. We skate three
laps (five miles), with our wheelchairs
setting the pace. This is a great way for
beginners to get to know the sport.
Regular Street Strolls are the next step
up for our crew. They’re faster and
start in Hyde Park, then follow
carefully chosen routes, past the
capital’s major landmarks (about 10
miles). These are led by the London
Friday Night Skate & Sunday Stroll.
We also tackle more adventurous
challenges like roller marathons in
Europe and route-tested trips like Bath
to Bristol.

If you are a wheelchair user or carer, or
an experienced skater who would like
to volunteer to push, we would love to
hear from you.
We are grateful to the National Lottery
for their donation for equipment to
allow more disabled people to
participate.
If you’d like to enable more wheelchair
users to access this fabulous sport,
please connect with me. Thank you!
