Our Fourth Rachael’s Day Collection took place before the home match against Norwich City on Sunday 23 February and realised £2,078.35 on the day. This, together with the £7,500 total so far from Oliver’s Trike Appeal and other donations, brought in over £10,000 for the Charity.

A huge congratulations and a massive thank-you to Dave Padfield and his friend Martin for successfully completing their marathon 170 mile cycle ride to raise money for POWER PLEAS.

Dave Padfield and his friend Martin are set to take on a gruelling 170 mile cycle ride to raise money for POWER PLEAS. The pair have accepted the challenge laid down by Graham Cooke to cycle from the Cookes store in Birmingham to the store in Christchurch. They will be setting off at 6:00 a.m. on 12 September and aim to reach Cookes Christchurch store before it closes at 5:30 p.m!

We are very saddened to report the recent passing of five year old Oliver Tuckwell. Oliver suffered from a rare genetic condition which caused him significant mobility problems. PowerPleas were privileged to have been able to provide Oliver with a specially adapted tricycle which aided his mobility and development.

The owner of a barber’s shop in Bradmore has taken a snip off his weekly wages to help fund an extra special Christmas present for a boy suffering from a rare chromosome disorder. Matt Wilson, aged 25, from Raymond’s Barbers, decided to donate all his wages from last Friday (November 30th), to help Wolverhampton wheelchair charity POWER PLEAS with their campaign for a new mobility trike for young James Padfield.

Six year old Milly Pearce and teenager Luke Millington turned up at the massively refurbished Co-op superstore on Warstones Drive to say thank you to the Co-op for supporting the local charity POWER PLEAS that provided them with their mobility aids.

After his very successful 100 mile cycle ride in September 2017, Dave Padfield is going to venture out on what he has described as “possibly the stupidest idea that I have had yet” to support POWER PLEAS. He is taking part in the Sutton Fun Run on Sunday 3rd June 2018, valiantly attempting to push his six year old son James around the 8.5 mile course on the Trike that James received from POWER PLEAS.
