About

BORP delivers nine weekly virtual and in-person fitness classes, adaptive team sports including wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby, goalball, power soccer, and sled hockey, one of the world's largest collections of adaptive bikes, a kayaking programme, and an Adaptive Micromobility Programme offering free loans of wheelchair attachments and smart assistive devices.
