Who are the Kidz Board?

We are the Kidz Board, a group of young wheelchair users, proud to each represent a different area of the UK. We meet up several times a year, in person or online, our job is to make sure our voices, and young people from our areas, are at the heart of every decision Whizz Kidz makes.

What do the Kidz Board do?

We are passionate about challenging perceptions and raising awareness of issues that affect young wheelchair users every day: such as  our manifesto topics:  Accessibility, Diversity and Inclusion, Education, Employment and Travel.

To create meaningful change we believe there should be ‘’nothing about us without us’’. We consult with key businesses, industry leaders, charities, Ministers and the public to raise awareness, campaign, identify key areas of societal change and collaborate on projects.

We would love to hear from you! If you are a young wheelchair user and want to share more about your experiences and local area, you are a business wanting to collaborate and partner, or you simply want to learn more, please email us at: kidzboard@whizz-kidz.org.uk.
