Nominated for support by Tom Masterson, the bears head coach the team were awarded funding from Everards and Carling earlier this year.
The Warwickshire Bears Wheelchair Basketball Academy is a basketball team that trains local disabled sports people to play and partake in competitive sport and in high level competitions. The group also offers a place for team mates to come together to offer advice,support and share their experiences.
The chair is open for all to use and the group also invite local community members to take part and try out the chairs to get a feel of the sporting ability the Warwickshire Bears have.
Currently, the predominant user of the chair is Michelle Quested who plays for their WWBC league.
Nominated for support by Tom Masterson, the Bears Head Coach, the group were awarded £2,850 funding to purchase a new sports wheelchair, opening up space for more team recruits to stay active, train and build confidence.
It already has made a major difference to Michelle’s confidence and abilities, inspiring her to train more and improve her game and fitness.
It was amazing to see the difference in her performance having a new wheelchair to play in. Tom,
Warwickshire Bears Coach

Ross and Camille bring authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas to Nottinghamshire and beyond. They started off doing so out of a renovated Land Rover named Poppy (which they still have!) until a chat with us led them to opening up their very own pizzeria in the beautiful village of Farnsfield.
We catch up with our friends Justin and Wayne at The Queens Head to chat about what it's like to own a pub business and their plans for the future.
