Helping wheelchair users - Google Ad Grants Campaign

Description

Wheelchair World was set up and is run by disabled people who know just how difficult it is to leave the home, let alone holiday and travel, without the information to successfully plan ahead. Our army of volunteers have pulled together a range of helpful resources for wheelchair users planning on travelling. Whilst we have had some success via social media we really want to get the word out and reach more wheelchair users. We have been approved for a not-for-profit google ad grants but we lack the marketing experience to make the most of this. Please do get in touch if you can help or would like to discuss further. Thank you. Susie
