Wheelchairs for Kids
An entirely volunteer-driven not-for-profit organisation, Wheelchairs for Kids designs, builds, and distributes rough terrain wheelchairs to children in impoverished and under resourced communities both in Australia and around the globe. Since 1998, they have provided more than 54,000 wheelchairs to over 90 locations worldwide, offering life-changing support to children in areas with limited resources. Wheelchairs for Kids is a project of the Rotary Club of Scarborough, Western Australia, supported by the Christian Brothers. WA winner of the 2025 Senior Australian of the Year, Brother Thomas Oliver (Olly) Pickett AM, played a key role in the foundation of Wheelchairs For Kids.
