About Whizz Kidz

Our vision is a society in which every young wheelchair user is mobile, enabled and included.

Mobile: We provide high-quality, personalised equipment for young people who need wheelchairs.

Enabled: We create services and confidence-building activities that give young people the skills and tools to be more independent.

Included: We campaign and work with young wheelchair users to create societal change and develop a more inclusive world.

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
