We are a free club to join. We are made up of anything on wheels,from trucks to bikes.
Our aim is to fund raise for charity while having fun.We all ways donate 100% of the money we raise for our Charities. 
Non of our charities pots are unsealed and counted without the minimum of at least 2 members of the committee and 1 independent person present and we publicise or pot count documents on Facebook and now on Twitter publicly.All  registered members of our forum can view the account on the Forum and the Books are also taken to every event we go to and we are only to willing to show people if asked.Cheques sent to our charities are also written out in the same way as we do the pot counts and publicise in the same way.When sending cheques they will only be sent by registered mail.


Last year we attended Parades,car shows,truck shows and more.
Why not come and join us bring the family along we always get the kids involved in fundraising. Just visit us at http://www.wheelsforcharity.org.uk/ and sign up to our forum to join in the fun.

Myself and Tommy 7
Tommy has for the last 3 years swum 2hrs non stop for Children in Need this pic was taken in 2010.He raised over £200.

We like to get the kids involved in what we do, as we feel it is educational for them and sets a great example for others.We rely on event donating a pick to us,so as we can still always donate 100% of the money we raise for our charities.

When we started up back in September2009 Gala Tent very kindly sponsored us with a 6mx12m Marquee.Not only this but gave us a Promotion code for people or clubs to use is they wish to by a Marquee or Gazebo from Gala Tent.
This Code WHEELS4C gives the customer a 5% discount and gives us 5% for our charities.Galatent can be found at http://www.galatent.co.uk/

Following the many heart-breaking stories that emerged from the losses
in Afghanistan and Iraq, the Forces Children's Trust was founded in
2004 by Denny Wise in an effort to fill a gap in the charitable field
of family care. Denny was concerned that the subsequent needs of the
affected children, were not being fully addressed. Over the years the
charity has grown considerably in size, allowing it to improve the
lives of many children.

Registered Charity number: 1421210

On the 15th December 2010, Denny Wise who founded this brilliant charity, has been awarded a Sun Millie... about time he was applauded for the fantastic work he & his team have done for the many children of the forces, who have suffered bereavement.
