Low-cost airline EasyJet has raised £345,000 over the last year for children’s mobility
charity Whizz-Kids.
Of this total, £287,531.55 was raised by an on-board charity
collection campaign held on all the airline’s UK flights during August and September
2004.

Whizz-Kidz was the first charity selected under EasyJet’s new charity policy. The
airline will select and support one charity each year.

EasyJet staff were active in the fundraising, and activities included parties in
Berlin to face painting for the Euro 2004 tournament, and Easter egg competitions.
