About The Cause
Greenwich Powerchair Football Club (GPFC) is a project that brings footballing fun to physically disabled people who are otherwise excluded from the game. Not only are participants learning new skills, but it also provides the chance to meet new friends and have fun.
Our Support
We were proud to support Greenwich Powerchair Football Club, which provides players with opportunities to build self-esteem, make friends and improve their well-being.
Powerchair football requires specialised, costly equipment, and while the club has fundraised to replace its powerchairs, it needed financial support to ensure long-term sustainability. Through ECF, we were delighted to fund the club for the 2023/24 season.
Our team members were also invited by Sharen Brokenshire to watch a training session and experience the incredible powerchairs first-hand.
The Outcome
Our support helped Greenwich Powerchair Football Club continue providing a space for players to build confidence, stay active and connect with others. With funding secured for the season, the club could focus on growth and sustainability, ensuring more players benefit from the sport.
