Team Endeavour Wheelchair Rugby Club in Plymouth has received a donation of £5,700 from the Morrisons Foundation.
The funding from the charitable arm of the supermarket group has enabled the Team Endeavour club to buy specialist equipment for their players’ wheelchairs, ensuring they can continue to offer training and match opportunities for veterans and people with disabilities many years to come.
Richard Rochester of Team Endeavour said:
“As the new chairman of the club we were fearful that the team would grind to a halt due to not being able to afford replacement wheels. Morrison Foundation has helped us to purchase ten new wheels in our rolling thunder project. Ten wheels might not seem a lot but to have five wheelchairs rolling again so our local ability impaired players can keep rolling is priceless thanks to the Morrisons Foundation.”
