Lots. And with new activities added regularly, there's something for everyone. You could try gym sessions, swimming, archery, boccia, mountain biking, paddleboarding, tennis, walking, cycling and a whole lot more. 

Social activities for you and your family include things like walks, quizzes, arts and crafts, museum visits, cookery and photography. There's lots to discover and enjoy together. 

Weekly virtual get-togethers have given me a social life. I’ve enjoyed walks, kayaking, archery and segway sessions, which were hilarious. We went to rugby games in Edinburgh. That all built up my confidence and social skills again.

Experience the thrill of wheelchair rugby

As one of the few full-contact disability sports, wheelchair rugby has become a standout event at the Paralympic Games, and this autumn you can find out why. 

We've partnered with GB Wheelchair Rugby to bring you a series of taster sessions, so you can discover for yourself the adrenaline and teamwork that makes this thrilling mixed gender sport such an incredible experience.

Discover your inner archer 

Do you have the skill, focus, and accuracy to hit the mark each time? Find out at these archery taster sessions. 

This engaging sport is suitable for anyone to enjoy, is great for physical health, and even better, helps you unwind from the stresses of your day. Taster sessions will be running throughout the autumn months.

Help for Heroes have been there to support me too. We’ve both been able to take part in fun activities and meet with other families. Having that support network has been really important for us both.
