Wheels for Hope is a West Australian charitable foundation with a focus on improving the mobility of people with disabilities by providing them with access to wheel chair accessible vehicles on a loan basis.
Wheels for Hope was launched in 2011, as the branded name of the Western Australian Motor Industry Foundation Inc which was established in March 2008 as a charity supported by the automotive industry in WA.
Wheels for Hope has a fleet of vehicles which it secures through its fund-raising efforts. The vehicles are allocated on a loan basis to eligible families with need for transport assistance (subject to eligibility criteria). Whilst on loan, Wheels for Hope licenses, insures and maintains the vehicles.
Since its inception, the fleet of Wheels for Hope vehicles has grown to over 40 – we’re proud to be able to change the lives of more Western Australian families through the gift of mobility.
Wheels for Hope is governed by a voluntary Board of passionate, committed and skilled individuals. We operate through the efforts and generosity of our volunteers and supporters.
