Advice and Information

Whizz-Kidz provides information and advice to families with disabled children and young people. The majority of the families we support often find it difficult to get information about what their child is entitled to or where they can get the right wheelchairs or training. We also look to incorporate individual children’s cases into our campaigning work so that we can lobby more effectively.

Information

We provide information to disabled children, young people and their families and professional workers on a range of issues associated with mobility and disability.

If you have an enquiry, please take a look at our frequently asked questions to see if we have the answer there. If not, please email us or telephone us on 0845 052 1231 (Local rate call).

Advice

Whizz-Kidz provides advice to families of disabled children who are looking for our support or simply looking for guidance on how to go about approaching their local NHS wheelchair service or where to start when purchasing a wheelchair privately. Again, finding the right information can be a minefield so we point families in the right direction.

If you have a question you would like help with, please start by taking a look at our frequently asked questions to see if your question is already answered there. If not, please email us or telephone us on 0845 052 1231 (Local rate call).

Raising Awareness

We campaign on mobility related issues and build individual case studies into our work, to illustrate the problems families face. When we see an opportunity to highlight our campaign around a common problem we utilise our resources, so that our efforts can benefit the maximum number of families in the most effective way. Our ambassadors play an active role in our campaigning.
