Story

#Willdoes - Helping Young People achieve Wellbeing

The #Willdoes Tractor Run is an annual event and is our favourite!! It is really a spectacular event and very festive!! It is great that the local young farmers community are all involved raising money and awareness for our charity.

Dedicated to the memory of Will

The #Willdoes charity is dedicated to the memory of William Paddy, a sporty, charismatic child with a cheeky smile who grew up near Swanage, Dorset, and enjoyed horse riding, snow boarding, rugby and tennis. A sensitive and empathetic kid, Will loved animals and being surrounded by them.

Sadly his life ended early at the age of 14, but his energy lives on through those who knew him and in his charity, #Willdoes.

Will's mother, Les, has set up the charity to help young people who may be finding life tough, struggling to cope with daily life.

Mission Statement

To promote any charitable purpose (including the promotion of education, physical health, mental health and social inclusion) and contribute financially to charitable projects for the benefit of young people in Dorset and the surrounding areas.

Introducing young people to sports and other activities to help them connect and engage socially, rather than retreat to more insular gaming and social media pastimes and to develop coping mechanisms to help manage anxiety and emotions, increase self-awareness, developing trust and relationships.
