2011 in pictures – thank you!

It’s been another record-beating year for Whizz-Kidz – and once again we say a huge thank you to each and every member of the Whizz-Kidz family.

Whether you’re a volunteer, an ambassador, a fundraiser, a corporate partner, an old friend, a new friend – we really value you.

Together we helped:

  • 1,410 children and young people get the right mobility equipment for them – up 40% on 2010
  • 1,350 children and young people gain new skills; including wheelchair skills training, campaigning and life skills, and work placements – up 40% on 2010.

We played a large role in successfully lobbying for Any Qualified Provider in children’s wheelchair provision – meaning Whizz-Kidz can potentially reach more children in 2012.

And the Health Secretary, Prime Minister, and senior Department of Health and NHS executives all championed Whizz-Kidz’s work this year.

As we did last year, we thought we’d share some pictures of all the fun we had in 2011.

Enjoy the slideshow, and we wish you all the very best and a happy Christmas. Shall we do it all again – and more – in 2012?
