Nissan Possibilities Project 2023-24

The Richard Whitehead Foundation is delighted to confirm we are launching recruitment for our 2023-24 cohort of beneficiaries of the Nissan Possibilities Project.

This unique opportunity will enable young adults (aged 18+) to access support to get active, and fulfil their potential.

This forms part of our exciting charity sponsorship partnership with Nissan GB, as part of the Nissan Possibilities Project supporting the Beneficiaries Programme, the company’s CSR initiative to create more opportunities for under-represented communities.

Nissan GB are enabling The Richard Whitehead Foundation to once again support a small number of young adults with leg limb loss, amputation or limb difference to participate in running and other sports. This includes funding the provision of running prosthetics, mentoring support, advice and other aspects that ensure barriers are broken down.

“We are excited to be working in partnership with Nissan GB and with the expertise and products of Ossur UK again. I have seen first-hand, the positive impact that running can have. The Foundation and Nissan are passionate about supporting more young disabled people to be active, and achieve their running goals.”
Richard Whitehead MBE
