A charity for disabled people has organised a stamina challenge to raise funds to cope with the increased demand for their services.

The test of mental and physical endurance will include activities such as trailer pulls, orienteering and problem solving.

The 9th General Support Regiment will be on hand at the Buckley Barracks, Stanton St Quinton, near Chippenham, to put participants through their paces. Working for Opportunities has around 200 disabled people on their register who they help to find work.

The organisation, based in the Shaftesbury Centre, Rodbourne, also continues to offer support once the individual is in the workplace.

Charity coordinator, John Green, said: "We are looking for 200 people to take part in this event.

"It would be a great thing for anyone to get involved in whether it's corporate teams or individuals."

The entry fee is £10 per person and those talking part are asked to raise a minimum of £20 each.

The event runs from 10am-9pm on Saturday, May 14 and after all the hard work there will be a Gurkha curry made by the experts.
