“We were delighted to receive £4,500 which will provide 3 specialist buggies to young wheelchair users.
We are currently experiencing unprecedented demand for our clinical service. Rising costs, combined with strict criteria in the NHS, means that Whizz Kidz is stepping in to fill the gap in the provision and ensure that young people can access the wheelchairs and life-changing mobility equipment they need.
Your donation means that our team can continue to deliver our transformative work, giving opportunities to young wheelchair users that many of their non-disabled peers take for granted.
We are so grateful for your support towards our work – THANK YOU.“

“THANK YOU for your incredible support of our Rocket Scanner Appeal. With your help, more children will be able to approach MRI scans with courage and confidence, rather than fear. We are deeply grateful for your generosity.
The second Rocket Scanner has been ordered for patients at Wythenshawe Hospital. Your donation of £5,000 was a big part of making that happen – so THANK YOU! All of this means that, in a few short months, we can start to help children work through their fear and anxiety with playful, enjoyable experiences.
With support from charitable trusts like The Fence Club, we are able to fund projects that make a difference to children’s lives. So, THANK YOU for being a major part of making that happen with your donation to our Rocket Scanner Appeal.”
“I just wanted to say a very sincere THANK YOU for your grant of £1,100 and for your amazing toy donation, you have brought smiles to so many faces, and we really can’t thank you enough for that. You’ve made a huge difference and given these children a Christmas they will remember for all the right reasons! There’s absolutely no way we could run our festive visits without the support of our amazing donors, without you the CAFT Christmas magic simply wouldn’t happen!
It’s my pleasure to announce that 3,741 children enjoyed a festive visit to CAFT in 2025. It warms our hearts to remember the smiles and laughter we witnessed every day of our festive programme, so many memories made that will be treasured forever. We must also consider the benefit of these visits to the parents/carers who also accompanied the children for both family and group visits – improving relationships, encouraging communication and building confidence.”
“THANK YOU so much for letting us know the wonderful news that The Fence Club Committee decided to support our recent application – we are so grateful for this generous support, THANK YOU!
