More information
The late Sir Ludwig Guttmann was the founder of WheelPower and sport for the disabled. WheelPower is the national charity for wheelchair sport in the UK. Funded through donations and contributions from charitable trusts, groups and individuals the charity annually tries to raise around £1 million to fund its work in providing sporting opportunities for disabled people. The work Guttmann started has now developed into a Paralympic Movement worldwide and he is acknowledged as the father of the Paralympics and sport for the disabled. WheelPower tries to ensure that there are the opportunities on offer for all who wish to take part, whether for fun or in serious competition.
