Grace Cares, a Lichfield based not-for-profit dedicated to saving care equipment and supporting health and social care, is thrilled to announce its first  highly anticipated event, “Pimp My Ride 2024.” Taking place at the vibrant The Hub at St. Mary’s in Lichfield, this exhibition showcases the imaginative prowess of local schools and colleges as they transform Zimmer Frames into remarkable works of art.

Hannah Montgomery, co-founder of Grace Cares, expressed her excitement about the event, stating, “Pimp My Ride embodies the spirit of creativity and community that Grace Cares stands for. We’re thrilled to see how each participant has brought their unique vision to life, while also supporting our mission of repurposing care equipment and fostering understanding across generations.”

Pimp My Ride exemplifies the power of creativity to spark meaningful connections and inspire positive change.”

Maggie Candlish, Deputy Head Teacher at Saxon Hill Academy, shared her enthusiasm for the exhibition, highlighting its educational value. “Participating as judges in Pimp My Ride will be an incredible learning experience for our students. It’s not just about creating art; it’s about understanding the importance of empathy, collaboration, and making a difference in the community.”

The Pimp My Ride 2024 exhibition will run from 28th June to 2nd July at The Hub at St. Mary’s, inviting members of the community to explore the transformed Zimmer Frames and cast their votes for their favorite designs. Plus, the winning entrant will walk away with £200!
