(UK, SC042995) Browse eventsGlasgow Wheelchair Rugby Club is the home of our team the 'Caledonian Crushers', we are the only wheelchair rugby club in Scotland. We launched in October 2011 and have been slowly growing as a club since then. Wheelchair Rugby is a sport that is open to anybody with a disability affecting at least 3 limbs and is a full contact team game played in specially designed wheelchairs. For most of our players it means a chance to play a competitive, high adrenaline sport which they may not have had the chance to do since accident or illness has left them with a disability. Wheelchair Rugby can be an expensive sport to get started and our club wants to help anyone in Scotland play wheelchair rugby, regardless of their financial status. The costs of a rugby wheelchair, along with spare parts and repairs throughout the season, run into the thousands. As our players have to travel all across the UK for matches, we have much higher travel costs than your average sports club. We also have to fund a care team to go with us when we travel otherwise our least able players may not be able to participate in competition events. We are always looking for people who can help to raise funds for the club to help us purchase new equipment and support our players to travel to competition events.

It is a pitifully poor country, limited industry, and for young adults coming from an agrarian family background, the opportunity for further education is generally non-existent. We are currently supporting 15 students (10 male and 5 female) at universities and colleges. We want to increase the number of students to 20 and, more importantly, establish an English Institute in Luang Prabang (the second main city in Laos). The establishment of the school is an extremely exciting project as it is a natural adjunct to our main activity and also because it has been proposed to us by the Children’s Cultural Centre, a semi-autonomous entity administered by the local authority in Luang Prabang. We believe that by working alongside such an entity, we will be able to benefit the local society by giving a wider age group the chance to learn English. Whilst there are other schools that teach English, these schools are for students who can afford the fees. Our aim is to provide lessons at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels on a charitable basis and to provide students who reach the required standard with a certificate that is recognised by the Lao authorities. We believe that a UK charity that spearheads the teaching of English in a country that has generally not benefitted from any support from the UK would be fantastic.

A healthy mind locked inside a frozen body. The condition is so rare (1 in 2,000,000) that little commercial interest exists in finding a cure so we need your help. Your donations are the difference between research continuing and it stopping completely. Even the smallest donations make a big difference.
