Design a Wheelchair

[jol]

If I haven't contacted you personally I am really sorry – we are under quite a time limit here.  We have been asked by the NHS to put forward ideas on what the 'Wheelchair of the Future' will include.  They really want feed back from young wheelchair users, professionals and parents.  Below is an email that has gone out to all of our Ambassadors and I am hoping you will be able to forward to your network.  The more responses the better.



If you have any questions regarding the on-line survey or the PDF downloads don't hesitate to contact us.  Next week I am not around but Mark Robertson our Director of Communications is available on 02077986136 or <mailto:m.robertson@Whizz-Kidz.org.uk>m.robertson@Whizz-Kidz.org.uk.



Thank you in advance of any responses you are able to bring together.
