The Walking Lab – Every Step Counts
Double Your Donation. Transform Recovery
From 12pm, 2 December to 12pm, 9 December 2025, every pound you give to White Lodge will be doubled £ for £ through the Big Give Christmas Challenge - helping us reach our £100,000 target to deliver life-changing neuro-rehabilitation to adults across Surrey.

The Situation: Lives on Hold
Each year, around 7,500 adults in Surrey acquire a catastrophic, life-changing neurological condition such as a stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s, or multiple sclerosis.
Recovery and immediate rehabilitation are critical - but NHS pressures and limited physiotherapy access mean many face delays of over six months after hospital discharge.
Without urgent therapy, patients risk long-term disability, loss of independence, and costly ongoing care. Families and carers also experience intense emotional, physical, and financial strain.
Urgent action is needed to transform recovery, improve long-term outcomes, and reduce this growing burden on individuals and the community.
Empower Movement. Restore Independence
With your support, we will:
- Launch a new Walking Assessment Clinic - providing 700 hours of one-to-one neuro-physiotherapy and hydrotherapy for 30 adults with neurological disabilities, delivered in our gym, hydrotherapy pool, and community settings.
- Deliver 1,300 hours of group and independent fitness sessions to help people rebuild walking strength, improve mobility, and stay active - while reducing isolation and boosting confidence.
- Buy MotoMED therapy bikes for people with limited mobility, enabling active arm and leg exercise from a wheelchair or bed. Some bikes will be used for home-based therapy, bringing rehab to those unable to travel.
- Invest in Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) equipment to treat foot drop, helping clients lift their feet and walk more naturally - speeding up recovery and restoring independence.
- Buy a BiSym tablet to work with our LiteGait walking training system, enabling physiotherapists to accurately assess and track walking progress and tailor treatment more effectively.
