Volunteers needed this summer: Morph’s Epic Art Adventure in London

Whizz-Kidz, the national charity for young wheelchair users, is looking for volunteers for London’s first step-free art trail!

This summer, between 19th June-20th August, over 50 sculptures of Morph will be on display for the public to enjoy at iconic landmarks along the riverside and central London for families and visitors to hunt down. Whizz-Kidz is hosting Morph’s Epic Art Adventure in London in partnership with Aardman and Wild in Art, to bring a fun, accessible family attraction to the streets of the capital while raising vital funds to support our life-changing services and increasing public awareness of the barriers young wheelchair users face and the role we all can play in building a more inclusive society.
