GBWR Community Awards 2026

GB Wheelchair Rugby Annual Community Awards

Behind every great wheelchair rugby club are the people who make it happen.

From coaches and volunteers to community champions and the clubs themselves, grassroots wheelchair rugby depends on the dedication, skills and passion of people who give their time and energy to the sport.

At Great Britain Wheelchair Rugby (GBWR), we are incredibly proud of the people working throughout our community to create safe, welcoming and empowering environments where members can enjoy wheelchair rugby and thrive.

We believe these contributions deserve recognition.

That is why we are delighted to launch the GB Wheelchair Rugby Annual Community Awards, celebrating the outstanding people and clubs making a difference across wheelchair rugby.

Recognising the People Who Make Our Sport Possible

The Annual Community Awards recognise the achievements and contributions of clubs and individual members of the GBWR community over the past 12 months.

Whether it is a volunteer who consistently goes above and beyond, a coach who brings out the best in their players, a young person making an outstanding contribution to their club, or an entire club creating an exceptional environment for its members, we want to hear their story.

This is an opportunity for our community to say thank you and shine a spotlight on the people whose enthusiasm, commitment and hard work help wheelchair rugby flourish.
