IT’S changing the lives of the people who need it most.
Thanks to a grant from Sport Relief, the Hampshire Harriers wheelchair basketball team have welcomed hundreds of new players to the sport.
The grant of almost £5,000 helped provide 12 sports wheelchairs for the club, based at Chamberlayne Leisure Centre in Weston.
The Daily Echo has teamed up with Sport Relief to give away more than £62,000 as part of a community cash fund for disadvantaged groups in the Southampton area.
Groups simply have to be working in a disadvantaged area of the city and have an income of less than £50,000 a year. Successful applicants will hear if they have been awarded grants in April.
