Making Play Truly Inclusive: Wheelchair Accessible Swings for Every Child

At Jt Foundation, we are passionate about creating opportunities for children with cerebral palsy in Greater Manchester. We believe that every child, regardless of mobility, should experience the joy and freedom of playing in their local park.

Our Flagship Campaign: Making Every Park Accessible

Manchester has 198 community parks, yet many remain inaccessible for children who use wheelchairs. Our flagship campaign is committed to changing this by installing wheelchair accessible swings in every park, ensuring that all children can experience the freedom and joy of play.

What Makes a Swing Wheelchair Accessible?

Wheelchair accessible swings are designed with inclusion and safety at their core. They include:

Stable, secure platforms to accommodate wheelchairs

Easy-access ramps or transfer points for smooth entry and exit

Robust safety features to protect every child while they play

Why Inclusive Play Matters

Play is crucial for every child’s development. It builds confidence, fosters friendships, and supports both physical and emotional well-being. By providing wheelchair accessible swings, we make sure children with cerebral palsy can:

Play alongside their peers

Feel welcomed and included in their community

Enjoy the same opportunities for fun and growth

How You Can Support

Your involvement is essential to making this vision a reality. You can:

Donate to help fund the installation of accessible swings

Together, we can create a more inclusive Manchester—one accessible swing at a time. Join Jt Foundation in making play possible for every child in a wheelchair.
