540 children to benefit

We are delighted to share the news that we have been successful in securing some new funding to help fund a Wizzybug for at least 540 children over the next three years.

The National Lottery Community Fund allocates between 25-30 grants per year, so we were thrilled to hear that our recent application was successful. This additional funding will enable us to provide more fun, free Wizzybug powered wheelchairs to families across England.

The funding will also help us to increase our work with other organisations to reach children and their families earlier so that they can benefit from Wizzybug for longer.

Jim Bowes, CEO of Designability, said “This funding from The National Lottery Community Fund will help us reach further into communities to make sure more children and families can experience the play, independence and development benefits that Wizzybug can support.

“As a charity committed to putting disabled people at the core of everything we do, it’s funding like this that gives us the resources to spend the time finding and working with the people that need us most.”

Thank you

We are very grateful to The National Lottery and everyone who plays it for ultimately making these opportunities possible for charities like ours.
