Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. This is the Arctic Two Quid Fundraiser!
Arctic One are proposing to support via our 'Forward Motion' Grant system, Benjie Hapay, who lives in the Philippines. We need to raise £500 for a new Chair. - We just need 250 followers to donate just £2
Benjie plays Wheelchair Badminton and travels and trains daily to train and compete at local and national tournaments. The wheelchair he currently uses is borrowed from the Government and is heavy and old making playing in competitions difficult and challenging.
I have known Benjie a couple of years now and he is certainly dedicated to his sport and travels and trains everyday but needs our help to get him a better chair which will be lighter, faster and a better fit. The cost of the chair in the Philippines is around £500 and that's are target
He has managed to source a manufacturer in the Philippines and we need to raise £500 for the chair and delivery.
The Arctic One Grant System started in 2014 and to-date we have provided over 250 Grants to Individuals, Groups and Clubs representing 32 different sports. Any excess we raise will go on to support other applicants for grants. Arctic One presently receive around 50 applications per annum.
The Arctic One Foundation is a small charity that aims to provide opportunities for people with disabilities to get involved in sport through their events, training days and Grants. 100% of any donations made will be put towards the Grants system.
