SoC secures funding to expand wheelchair activity in Essex

Sport for Confidence CIC has secured funding to improve access to basic health monitoring for wheelchair users across Essex, with 12 specialist weighing scales now available in community leisure settings.

The funding has been awarded through the Southend, Essex and Thurrock Learning Disability and Autism Health Equalities Programme. Delivered in partnership with Essex Carers Network CIC, the investment will help tackle a long-standing barrier for wheelchair users.
