Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, I would just like to give you an insight into the charities background, as well as my own, and why this charity is so important to myself and how your generousity will help towards a great cause, and open many doors of opportunities for disabled children around the UK.

Currently I work as a barrister's clerk in one of the largest family & children barrister law firms; Four Paper Buildings. Our chambers strive to help children that may be less fortunate than ourselves, and those who have had difficult upbringings. In the course of my work I have seen how help and aid in the right place, can inrich youngsters lifes. Therefore Whizz Kidz was an obvious choice for me, as aiding those less fortunate is my priority.

All children should have the chance to be something special…a kid. But there are an estimated 70,000 disabled children in the UK who are waiting for the right wheelchair, a wheelchair that will mean they can get up to all the things that kids like to do. And that’s where Whizz-Kidz comes in. We give disabled kids the equipment, support and life skills they need to be just like any other kid.

After the great success of the Paralympic games, it has given every disabled child the dream and ambition to strive towards success and a goal.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now. Also visit the Whizz Kidz website to learn more http://www.whizz-kidz.org.uk/
