Challengers

Challengers schemes allow disabled children and young people the opportunity to play with their friends, have fun and most importantly challenge their impairments.

Uniquely, their non-exclusion policy means that everyone is welcome at a Challengers scheme, no matter how complex their needs might be. Where others say no, Challengers says yes.

Challengers’ work also allows parents a vital break from the huge demands that may come with caring for a disabled child or young person. Families have expressed that the Challenger lifeline of support keeps them strong. Their ultimate vision is to have a world where all young people can play together, freely.

You might be surprised to hear...

29% of the children who attend Challengers have been turned away from all other providers because their needs are seen as too complex. At Challengers, they never turn a child away.
