Weir Archer Academy Athletics Club
Boosting inclusion, health and confidence through athletics opportunities
Weir Archer Academy Athletics Club provides inclusive athletics opportunities for disabled people, supporting physical health, confidence, social connection and competitive development.
The Axis Foundation donated £2,418 to purchase sprint timing gates and weighted training sleds, enabling athletes and coaches to accurately measure performance and enhance training programmes. Over 40 athletes, club members and supporters will benefit, improving engagement, motivation and performance while introducing new technology that supports both grassroots participation and elite progression.
“A huge thank you from everyone at Weir Archer for this amazing support. The athletes and coaches are thrilled, and this equipment will make a lasting difference to training, performance and enjoyment across the club” – Elissa Metzgen, Fundraising Team
