Physiotherapy charity breaks fundraising target
Tuesday 29th December 2009
A charity which helps youngsters suffering from neurological problems to receive physiotherapy has broken its fundraising target.
According to reports in the Oxford Mail, the Footsteps Foundation in Warborough had hoped to make £125,000 by Christmas time but exceeded this total, making £143,000.
The organisation, which has its headquarters based in Oxfordshire, is not funded by the NHS and as such relies on donations to finance its programme.
Its service sees highly experienced physiotherapists use a specialised piece of equipment called a Spider to help children improve their mobility.
Founder Pippa Hoyer Millar suggested that the generosity displayed by local people has been "incredible".
She added: "The public has really taken Footsteps Foundation and all that we do for neurologically disabled children under their wing."
It is amazing that, even during a recession, people are prepared to do all they can to help disabled youngsters reach their full potential, Ms Millar went on to say.
