The Healing, Teaching and Chivalric Order of St Raphael
Order adopts Whizz-kidz as preferred Charity for fundrasing
At the Annual Investiture of the Order held at Peterborough on 12th January 2008, it was agreed that all future fundraising that we undertook would be for the benefit of the national charity "Whizz-kidz" (Charity no 802872). The following extract is taken from their website:
"Whizz-Kidz is all about giving disabled children and young people the independence to enjoy an active childhood – at home, at school and at play.
By providing them with customised mobility equipment, training, advice and life skills, we actually give them something much more important; the independence to be themselves. We make an immediate and life changing difference to their lives and their families.
We also work to raise awareness of mobility issues through national campaigning. The service we provide is not available from the NHS, yet it has an enermous impact on the lives of disabled children and their families throughout the UK."
