Whizz-Kidz* - Jardine Motors Group Charity Partnership
Jardine Motors Group formed a charity partnership with Whizz-Kidz at the beginning of 2014 as part of its commitment to increasing opportunity and accessibility within the motor industry. Whizz-Kidz is a UK-based charity dedicated to transforming the lives of disabled children by providing the vital equipment and life skills they need to reach their full potential. Jardine Motors Group and Whizz-Kidz are a natural fit, with our organisations sharing many values and a common purpose: providing mobility.
As patron members of the Whizz-Kidz Business Alliance, Jardine Motors will continue to support the charity in the form of mentoring sessions, work placements and employability skills workshops to help young wheelchair users fulfil their potential and realise their future ambitions.
Jardine Motors supports Whizz-Kidz through several activities, including, but not limited to:
- Offering mentoring sessions and employability workshops
- Offering work placement opportunities in a variety of career roles
- The donation of £25 for every Motability vehicle sold by one of our dealerships
- Actively supporting the charity’s campaigns and initiatives, such as the ‘Wheels of Change’ project
- Taking part in fundraising activities to provide wheelchairs and mobility support to young people (we have amassed a total of over £1 million in donations so far)
*Whizz-Kidz is the working name of The Movement for Non-Mobile Children. Registered charity in England and Wales (No. 802872). Charity registered in Scotland (No. SC042607).
