 Every year Wheelpower host the National Junior Games. The video shows what the event stands for, 11-18 year olds with a range of physical disabilities learning multiple new sports under the expertise of sporting coaches. It shows what it means to be part of a disabled community and how coming together for the event is more than sports, it is about challenging themselves, opportunities, and learning skills they might not get in the outside world, earning medals, and gaining vital friendships that last far beyond the event and keeps them coming back year after year.

Hotel room with a grey sofa. Victoria sits in her pink wheelchair next to her mum in an armchair

I review the Dover Marina Hotel and Spa in Dover, Kent. A friendly, welcoming hotel currently undergoing major works to bring this listed building into the 21st century whilst continuing to keep the elegance of the architecture. It is a stone's throw from the beach, the port of Dover, and the iconic White Cliffs. As a wheelchair user, the hotel boasts lots of promising features. Whilst they do not currently have a disabled access room, the fact that management are willing to listen, learn and grow is great, and I can't wait to return when all the work is complete. I cannot name all the staff who went above and beyond for me during my stay as there are too many to name, but a special mention does go out to; Jacob in Churchill's Bar, Poppy in Mr White's Chophouse, Rimishan (reception manager), Pradeep (general manager), Shubabker (restaurant manager) Ruchit (reception) Ayan (reception).
