The multi-team event brought local schools together to enjoy a range of adapted activities, including boccia, new age curling, sitting volleyball, and goalball with student and staff volunteers helping to facilitate the Games.
The event welcomed students from Avon Park School (Special Educational Needs), Arnold Lodge School who came for the first time, and Ormiston Shelfield, a second Special Educational Needs school, who made the trip over from Walsall.
Andrew Todd, Director of Regional Strategy and Partnerships at The University of Warwick, said: "It was great to host our third PowerHouseGames and fantastic to see the power of sport in bringing together teams of pupils from different schools and backgrounds and the fun that they had.
This year we were really pleased to include Warwick volunteers from our Campus and Commercial Services Group's finance team, who really entered into the wonderful spirit of the games."
The success of this year's PowerHouseGames further cements its place as an essential event in Warwick's sporting calendar, reinforcing the university's commitment to inclusivity and the power of sport to unite communities.
Mark Hyndman, Director of Sport and Active Lifestyles at Warwick Sport, added: "This year's instalment of the PowerHouseGames provided an opportunity for us to strengthen our partnership with Power2Inspire, and continue playing our part in hosting events that celebrate accessibility, inclusivity and diversity at our Sports and Wellness Hub at the University of Warwick.
"Local schools, our staff networks and the student community enjoyed a day full of fun centred around an inspiring and meaningful purpose to encourage participation in sport and active lifestyles for all, regardless of ability levels or background."
John Willis, Founder and Chief Ambassador of Power2Inspire, concluded: "PowerHouseGames at Warwick was a fantastic celebration of inclusive sport, bringing
together students, staff, and schools with incredible energy and enthusiasm. A huge thank you to Warwick's student volunteers and staff for making it happen. We can't wait for the next one – because at PowerHouseGames, no one is left on the bench!"
