We're Ready Willing & Mobile - are you?

Win £1,000 plus for your school or club

Monday 10 January 2011 - Ready Willing & Mobile 2011 is now open for entries. If you are aged between 7 and 16 you could win great prizes for yourself and your school or club. All you have to do is think of a bright idea to help young people less able than yourself.

The competition has a new outdoor theme this year, calling for bright ideas to help people with disabilities gain easy access to - and maximum enjoyment from - woodlands and forests. Think not only about wheelchair users: sensory, learning or memory impairments can also affect a person’s experience of outdoor spaces in different and challenging ways.

Past Winners

The competition was launched in 2005 and has grown year on year, attracting entries from schools, and now clubs and associations too, from all over the UK.
