Whizz-Kidz is a charity that is all about giving disabled children the chance to lead a more independent life. Our service meets their individual mobility needs and ensures they get the right mobility equipment, advice and training at the right time.

We are virtually 100% reliant on voluntary funds raised through events, trusts, companies and individuals. We need your support to raise more money so that more young people can lead an active childhood.

Whizz-Kidz is all about giving disabled children and young people the independence to enjoy an active childhood – at home, at school and at play.

By providing them with customised mobility equipment, training, advice and life skills, we actually give them something much more important; the independence to be themselves. We make an immediate and life changing difference to their lives and their families.

Whizz-Kidz' service is focused on meeting the special needs of children and young people with mobility impairments. It provides them and their families with:

Mobility equipment
We provide essential mobility equipment – powered, manual and recreational equipment – to give young disabled people the independence to enjoy a more active childhood.

Wheelchair skills training
Our wheelchair skills training programme, for young wheelchair users up to the age of 18, is one of the ways we offer sustained support to young disabled people on their life journey. Wheelchair skills training furthers young people’s independence by teaching them how to get the most from their wheelchair, be safe when out and about and in turn have more fun! It is open to both Whizz-Kidz beneficiaries and those that received their equipment from elsewhere.

Advice and Information
Our advice and information gives families with disabled children the information and guidance they need to ensure their child gets the right help.

Life skills
We involve young disabled people in our work and at the same time they gain essential life skills such as work experience to further their self confidence and support their transition into adulthood.

Whizz-Kidz’ service is national and to support its delivery we have mobility centres located in Newcastle and Birmingham and a further base in London thanks to our new pilot initiative, working in partnership with Tower Hamlets NHS Primary Care Trust.

Campaigning
We campaign for children with disability to raise awareness of the issues affecting young disabled people and to highlight the need for change to decision makers.

Our current campaign is calling on the Government to ensure that all disabled children have access to the right mobility equipment at the right time.

Please help us to make an impact on more disabled children's lives by joining our campaign.
