Flying Scholarships for Disabled People
Rebecca Giddings's Company Details
Over the past 32 years, FSDP have helped over 400 disabled men and women change their lives, by experiencing the joy of freedom in the air, learning new skills, regaining confidence, and who have "reached for the sky". We have helped these disabled people discover their true potential, and to completely transform their perception, and the perceptions of society, about what they can achieve.Our scholars have a range of disabilities and illnesses including, amputation, paraplegia, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and poliomyelitis. Some are born with their conditions, others have them as the result of an accident or of contracting a disease, or even because they have been a victim of a terrorist bombing.Flying Scholarships for Disabled People (FSDP) was inaugurated in 1983, in memory of Group Captain Sir Douglas Bader CBE, who had died the previous year. Douglas Bader was a double amputee, World War Two ace pilot, famous for his flying prowess, especially during the Battle of Britain.
