About Us

Parafed Wellington (previously known as Wellington Paraplegic and Physically Disabled Association Inc.) is a non-profit organisation managed by a board of elected volunteers.

Our goal is to provide or facilitate sporting, recreation or leisure opportunities for our members.

Supporting sport and active leisure for people with physical disabilities

For many people with a physical disability it can be difficult to join in or participate in a sport or leisure activity of their own choice. Parafed Wellington can make it easier for members to achieve that goal.

Parafed Wellington recognises the "No Exceptions" policy and is an advocate and facilitator for members with disabilities to have access to sporting and recreational activities. Parafed Wellington is committed to providing assistance and resources, including funding assistance for equipment.

Some of our programmes are integrated with mainstream sports and we have developed ongoing partnerships with many able bodied sports organisations.
