Every child deserves to play, laugh, and dream

For the first time in our history, we’ve had to close our waitlist because the demand for wheelchairs and mobility equipment is overwhelming.

That means children who desperately need help can’t even apply.

Over 1,000 children are currently stuck waiting, while their childhood slips away day by day.

Because childhood can’t wait – not for Charlie, not for any child.

We are the UK’s leading charity for young
wheelchair users

Get Support

As the UK’s leading charity supporting young wheelchair users up to 25 years old, we provide them with the equipment and skills they need to live life as independently as possible. To enjoy all of the opportunities and activities that so many others take for granted ‐ at home, at school, at work and beyond.
