THE
COMMUNITY
BAG PACKS
The main form of fundraising that the Bears conduct throughout the year. Both in and out of season, is done through bag packing events. This provides an opportunity for players and coaches to get out into the community, meet and chat with members of the public and raise awareness for disability sport. It is also an excellent opportunity to raise funds, which are injected into the club in the form of funding items such as new kit, new playing chairs and sports hall hire.
SCHOOL EVENTS
The Bears organize various school events. Events can be customized in partnership with the school's management team and Junior coach. These options include focusing on wheelchair basketball basics, informative talks on disability and sports.
CORPORATE EVENTS
The bears offer bespoke corporate events. Designed for companies looking to participate in team building activities as well as trying something new. These can include inspirational speakers and talks on disability sport. We get you all into our basketball wheelchairs and teach you all the basic skills all run by our qualified coaches. At the end of the day we play you against each other in a tournament. It’s set up to be fun but also with a competitive edge.
