Challengers

About Challengers

Challengers is a charity that’s passionate about breaking down the barriers to play by providing inclusive play and leisure schemes and has helped over 1,400 disabled children and young people aged 2-18 across the South East.

There are many barriers which stop disabled children from accessing play, but it is this organisation’s main goal to challenge these barriers, making it possible for every disabled child to have fun and be included. Challengers believe that every child has a right to play, and their non-exclusion policy means it will never exclude a child based on the complexity of their needs.

Where there’s a will, there’s always a way at Challengers.
