The sport was created in France during the late 70’s. With steady growth, it’s played in over 25 countries, with more joining each and every year.
Power Football is played on a basketball court with four players per team, a goalkeeper and three attackers/defenders. Each player is equipped with a metal or sturdy plastic foot guard attached to the front of the chair, athletes move the chairs and use the foot guard to pass and shoot the ball.

Thank you for your patience.
Today WelcoMe launches with its first NHS Hospital NHS Golden Jubilee, Glasgow. The Golden Jubilee becomes the fist health board in the world to offer WelcoMe to its disabled patients and visitors underlining its long held aspiration to be the very best person centric health care provider.

“As a Disability Confident Leader, making sure we are offering the highest quality of care and experience for those who need our services has always been a priority for us, and this project is the latest step in our dedication to creating an accessible space for everyone who comes through our doors.”
At WelcoMe, we are obviously over the moon with this opportunity and hope that success with The Golden Jubilee can lead to WelcoMe being made avaibale at an increasing number of hospitals and Health Centres across the United Kingdom.
