Rotec recently had the pleasure of supporting Bristol Powerchair Football team, the Bristol Dragons at the Bristol Ignite Festival 2022.

Powerchair Football is the fastest growing disability team sport, which enables severely disabled people to play football using electric powerchairs.

Ignite Bristol is a movement to get more Disabled people active in Bristol. The festival provides the perfect place to showcase inclusive activities, such as powerchair football, and allow attendees to benefit from participating and creating a new network of friends, clubs and organisations. 

The event is particularly important as Disabled people are half as likely to be active as non-disabled people. 

Rotec helped Bristol Dragons PFC attend the Bristol Ignite Festival by transporting their electric powerchairs to site. Once they arrived at the event, the players had a chance to show off powerchair football to everyone who then could have a go and try it. All the Bristol Dragons PFC players and coaches had a great day and overcame the hot weather to play and demonstrate what a great sport powerchair football can be.

Bristol Powerchair Football Club (PFC) was formed back in 2016, with help of the Bristol Rovers Community Trust, the GFA and Goals Beyond Grass. To find out more, visit Bristol PFC – Goals Beyond Grass.
