#cando blog

One of our #cando heroes, Luke Sinnott, recently visited our London office for a lunch & learn with members of staff to tell us about his journey from a Captain in the British Army to Paralympic Athlete.

I love Boccia. I really like the competitive element of the sport as it’s very physically demanding and intense; something that’s not realised by people watching from the side lines.

When you have a disability, you need to look for a sport that works for and compliments your disability as well as your passions.

When I was younger, all I wanted to do was play football with my friends. Unfortunately, this was rather difficult because I was in a wheelchair and schools were not as inclusive as they are now. So, I turned to wheelchair basketball.

One of our #cando athletes, Richard Chiassaro, recently visited our Guernsey office to host a wheelchair basketball tournament for our locally based staff. 

One of our #cando athletes is Mel Clarke, para-archer, Paralympian, European champion and World champion. We had a Q&A with Mel to find out a little more about her, her story and sport.
