Former Tesco Chairman Sir David Reid is chairman of the Trustee
Board at Whizz-Kidz, a charity that supports and empowers
young wheelchair users. Tesco therefore has a strong relationship
with the charity. Whizz-Kidz was chosen as Tesco’s Charity of the
Year in 2006. Research conducted by Whizz-Kidz showed that
many young wheelchair users found it hard to develop adult skills
and outlooks, so the charity provides training to help young
people become more confident and independent.
