Mobility centres
Whizz-Kidz has two mobility centres - one in Birmingham and the other in Newcastle.
Each mobility centre offers a ‘one stop shop’ for families with disabled children and professionals to get expert, impartial advice and information on all aspects of child mobility. The centres are child-focused and respond to the needs of local families.
They offer:
- Mobility equipment assessments
- Wheelchair training
- Family open days where young people can trial equipment
- Impartial advice and information – particularly around child mobility
- Life skills – offering opportunities for disabled children to learn new skills and meet other young disabled people at our local Ambassador Clubs
- Training for paediatric professionals

As an ambassador I can highlight the need of the provision of suitable mobility equipment for children and make others aware of the opportunities available to young people in wheelchairs
