Dr. Willard Wigan MBE
Willard Wigan is renowned for creating the smallest sculptures ever made by human hands. As a schoolboy, Willard struggled with reading and writing, facing challenges that were not widely understood and despite being told by teachers that he would amount to nothing, he discovered his hidden talent while hiding in his garden shed.
Willard's achievements include receiving an MBE from the Queen, setting two Guinness World Records, and receiving an Honorary Doctorate from Warwick University. His remarkable journey has been documented in an award-winning Channel 4 documentary, and he has been featured on international TV, radio, and talk shows. His art has been exhibited worldwide and is sought after by celebrity collectors.
Willard believes his life and work are a testament to the idea that learning differences do not limit potential, and that small things have a profound impact. His mission, through this Foundation, is to inspire and encourage young people to dream big, set goals, believe in yourself and embrace small changes that lead to significant achievements.
