We caught up with Glyn Bennett, founder of Burton Wheelchair Rugby Club...

Burton Wheelchair Rugby Club has enjoyed another fantastic year of growth and development during the 2025/26 season.

  • Largest membership in club history with 20 registered players
  • A growing team of dedicated volunteers
  • Strong partnerships with the University of Derby and emerging links with Loughborough University
  • Community outreach, including schools, universities, disability awareness events and HMP Sudbury
  • Continued development in both National 4s and 5s competitions
  • A welcoming environment that supports confidence, wellbeing and inclusion

As part of Burton Rugby Club, we're committed to strengthening our connection with the wider rugby family and demonstrating that rugby truly is a sport for everyone.

Wheelchair rugby changes lives, but it is an expensive sport to deliver. We're always looking for sponsors, funding opportunities and supporters who can help us continue providing opportunities for disabled people to participate, compete and thrive.

Thank you to everyone who has supported BWRC this season. We look forward to an even bigger and better 2026/27 season!
