Since 2023, Stoiximan has been taking action to make a meaningful contribution to removing barriers through sport—a human and timeless right for everyone.
The Stoiximan Wheels of Change program enables people with disabilities to participate actively in sport, advancing inclusion in practice and challenging stereotypes and prejudice.
As part of the program, we provide specially designed sports wheelchairs to participants, along with free, year-round training in collaboration with specialized coaches in Athens and Thessaloniki.
