Employees and Community Case Study:
Whizz-Kidz Partnership – Giving Disabled Children Independence
Following an employee vote at Molson Coors UK, Whizz-Kidz was chosen to be the UK's corporate charity for 2010 and 2011. It’s a charity all about giving disabled children and young people the independence to enjoy an active childhood – at home, at school and at play. Whizz-Kidz provides them with vital mobility equipment helping to transform their lives. And through training, advice and life skills, Whizz-Kidz gives them something much more important; the independence to be themselves.
Having a corporate charity partner gives the UK one aligned focus area for fundraising and charitable activities to raise awareness, offer team-building and development for employees. As a company we are aiming to raise £180,000 over the next two years, which is enough to provide 36 wheelchairs and transform the lives of 36 young people (the right wheelchair for a child costs on average £5,000). Take a look at what we've achieved so far, see our annual update.
