Wheels at<br />
Work<br />
Challenge!<br />
Stoke Mandeville Spinal Research (SMSR),<br />
based at the world-renowned National Spinal<br />
Injuries Centre, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire,<br />
invites businesses to take part in their Wheels<br />
at Work initiative.<br />
If you value the issues of disability and<br />
inclusion, then SMSR can help highlight your<br />
commitment to these by giving members<br />
of your team the opportunity to spend a<br />
sponsored day in a wheelchair to gain a<br />
small insight into the lives of people living<br />
with spinal cord injury, currently over 50,000<br />
people in the UK alone.<br />
The Charity will provide the wheelchairs at<br />
a date to suit you, and work in partnership<br />
with businesses taking part on a PR & Social<br />
Media plan to ensure all participants receive<br />
the recognition they deserve for supporting<br />
Wheels at Work.<br />
As our Ambassador Heidi Herkes says: “It’s so<br />
great to know people are taking the time to<br />
get a feel for what life is like in a wheelchair,<br />
even for just one day. I really hope everyone<br />
gets behind Stoke Mandeville Spinal Research<br />
so the charity can raise vital funds and<br />
awareness for their research”.<br />
