OPPORTUNITIES for disability sports in Calderdale have received a boost with the addition of two new tennis wheelchairs.
It follows a successful grant application by Calderdale Council’s sports service to the Dan Maskell Tennis Trust.
The trust specialises in creating opportunities and supporting disabled people and organisations who want to play tennis.
Calderdale Council’s cabinet member for neighbourhoods and communities, Cllr Susan Press, said there was already a variety of sports and physical activities for disabled people to take part in within Calderdale.
She added: “It’s great news that the Council has two new specialist wheelchairs, enabling children and young people to experience a new activity and allowing the sport of wheelchair tennis to grow in the borough.”
