About
BEWSA (British Ex-Services Wheelchair Sports Association) was formed in September 1987 after a small group of disabled ex-service men and women were invited to fly to the United States of America to participate in the “Paralysed Veterans of America (PVA) National Veterans Wheelchair Games”.
After seeing first hand how the Americans used participation in sport as a source of rehabilitation for those who have been injured in the service of their country, and seeing that the UK did not have an organisation to meet these needs, BEWSA was born.
