Story

Over 75,000 young people in the UK need to use a wheelchair to be mobile.

Unfortunately, they cannot access the equipment that meets their needs through local services. Whizz Kidz are there for all of them.

Whizz Kidz are the UK’s leading charity supporting young wheelchair users up to 25 years old. They empower young wheelchair users with the equipment, support, and confidence-building experiences they need to take an active role in society. The Whizz Kidz goal is to create a movement for progress towards a more open and accessible world.

How Donations support young wheelchair user.

All donations will go towards Whizz Kidz who will help support young wheelchair users in a number of ways. For example:

💛 £45 could pay for a young wheelchair user to attend their local Whizz Kidz Club for an hour, reducing social isolation, and providing an opportunity to gain confidence.

💛 £260 could enable Whizz Kidz to see a young person and their family at a local Mobility Clinic, where Therapists and Engineers will assess their needs and handover the right piece of equipment.

💛 £1,000 could enable Whizz Kidz to provide an adapted trike for a disabled child. These adapted trikes give children a safe and fun way to exercise.

💛 £3,700 could enable Whizz Kidz to provide a manual wheelchair for a disabled child, which is comfortable, well-fitting and lightweight.

💛 £5,500 could enable Whizz Kidz to provide a powered wheelchair, helping a child to participate fully at school and in social activities and allowing them to keep up with siblings and classmates.
