About Whizz Kidz

Our vision is a society where every young wheelchair user is confident, independent, and free to live the life they choose – with the right equipment, opportunities, and full access to the world around them.

Independence: We provide high-quality, personalised equipment for young people who need wheelchairs to be mobile and independent.

Confidence: We create services to ensure more young people have the skills and confidence to actively engage in the community.

Access: We influence decision makers to build an accessible and inclusive society, giving young wheelchair users more opportunity.

Our Purpose

We create opportunities for young wheelchair users to get the equipment, skills, and confidence to go further.

Why does Whizz Kidz exist? 

• We are the UK’s leading charity for young wheelchair users.
• More than 75,000 young people in the UK need a wheelchair to be mobile.
• Most have no access to a wheelchair that’s right for them, leaving them at risk of social isolation, poor mental health, and physical injury. We want to change that.
• 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 the opportunities and activities that so many others take for granted ‐ at home, at school, at work and beyond.

*Equipment applications accepted up to 18^th birthday
