DEVIZES PHAB is appealing for help from to stage its main fundraising event.

The charity is appealing for people to push wheelchairs for its sponsored wheelchair push and walk on May 17.

The annual event is well supported and participants can raise money for other charities as well as PHAB.

Michael Braund, of Devizes PHAB, said: "It's a fun event and while raising money the people taking part enjoy it.

"We are a little short of volunteers this year to push wheelchairs so we would be very grateful to anyone who can help out.

"The event is well supported by the public and it is our main fund-raiser. We aim to raise between £1,000 and £1,500 from the event and what we do raise is spent on running PHAB in Devizes."

Anyone who can help in pushing wheelchairs should call Mr Braund on 01380 870274.

This year's wheelchair push sets off at 1.45pm from the Nursteed Centre.

Participants will travel along Sarum Drive, Pans Lane, Southbroom Road, The Green and back to the Nursteed Centre.
