THE Paralympic Games may be over but there is a whole host of inclusive sporting opportunities available right here in Powys.

We can even boast our own silver medallist, table tennis player Rob Davies from Brecon as well as the now retired but legendary wheelchair rugby player Jim Roberts from near Welshpool.

But of course, you don’t need to be a Paralympian to simply enjoy sport and improve your health and wellbeing.

That’s why Sport Powys has put together Let’s Go Powys/ Amdani Powys.  Designed to make it easier for people to find sports and activity opportunities across the county, the website has lots of inclusive activities for adults of all ages and abilities.

From the team behind Lets Go Powys, here’s your guide to inclusive sporting opportunities in Powys

Every Friday in term-time, you’ll find all sorts of activities on offer in the sports hall such as basketball, football, athletics, cricket, boccia, tennis, curling, table tennis and trampolining.

The club also organises outdoor activities and taster days so you can have a go at sailing, canoeing, cycling, horse riding and hill walking.
