A trailblazing wheelchair rugby player and disability advocate Jess Booth will use YGF funding to launch a groundbreaking new project aimed at transforming the face of Wheelchair Rugby League in the UK.
Jess, who represents Wales in the sport and is a decorated ambassador for inclusivity, is now setting their sights on creating the first youth-led Wheelchair Rugby League team. Their initiative, called Project Wheels, will flip the traditional model of sports team management, placing power in the hands of players under 25.
“I literally want to change a game! I want to turn Wheelchair Rugby League on its head and let the youth voice be heard in this diverse, equitable and inclusive community,” says Jess
