The LimbPower Games is an annual event open to adults who have acquired amputation, acquired limb impairment, congenital limb absence and limb difference. The aim of the games is to introduce participants to a variety of sporting activities to improve fitness, health and wellbeing.
This year’s games took place at Stoke Mandeville Stadium in Aylesbury on the weekend of 31 May and 1 June 2025, and as always, was a fantastic event.
Nichola Fosler, Anna Wiseman, Charlotte Tan, Jodee Mayer, Huseyin Kahyalar, Beth Pickering, Simran Budwal and Yusra Nasir supported the event on behalf of Stewarts.
The games enable participants of all fitness levels to try a range of sporting activities in a friendly and supportive environment, meet like-minded people, learn new skills, share ideas, develop increased confidence and improve their physical and psychological well-being. The games demonstrate the importance of regularly participating in physical activity and sport as they enhance an individual’s quality of life and aid their lifelong rehabilitation.
We were blessed with good weather for the event, which meant that during the day, participants had the opportunity to take part in and try a wide selection of both outdoor and indoor sporting activities. These included archery, wheelchair basketball, tennis, golf, fencing, sitting volleyball, cycling, swimming, , badminton, shooting, and athletics, which covered advice on running, triathlons and long jump, as well as guidance on weight training in the gym.
Staff from LimbPower, as well as volunteers and sponsors who attended over the weekend, were all encouraged to participate. Several members of Stewarts took the opportunity to try some of the sports.
The 2025 LimbPower Games was fully booked and an extremely successful event. Stewarts looks forward to continuing to support this event in the future.
Over the weekend, we also raffled fitness trackers for the attendees, raising some much-needed donations for LimbPower.
About LimbPower
LimbPower is a national charity launched in 2009 to provide sporting opportunities and art-based activities for people with amputations.
For those who are newly injured, the loss of a limb is likely to cause significant disruption to many aspects of their life, and these challenges can be overwhelming. There is support available for amputees to access and know that they are not alone in the new challenges they may face. LimbPower supports amputees, individuals with limb difference and their families to bridge the gap between hospital rehabilitation and community and school engagement to rebuild lives and improve physical, mental, and social well-being. Their vision is to change lives through the power of physical activity, sport and the arts.
Participation in sport among people with a disability is increasing, but there is still an imbalance between participation among people with a disability and those without a disability. Statistics show that 18.5% of people with a disability currently play sport on a weekly basis compared to 39.2% of people without disability. Only 17.9% of people with a physical impairment participate in sport on a weekly basis.
The charity offers excellent resources, including exercise videos, information sheets and details about various participation events.
