Your impact

The money you raise will help us reach even more young wheelchair users by funding mobility equipment, life skills training and opportunities for young people to reach their full potential.

  • £110 could pay for additional parts to extend the life of a young person's wheelchair and 'grow' the equipment as a child's needs change.
  • £209 could enable a young person to attend an activity session where they can make new friends and build their confidence.
  • £347 could fund a child to attend a Wheelchair Skills Training session and develop vital skills to help them use their wheelchair safely and confidently.
  • £1,300 could enable Whizz Kidz to provide for an adapted trike for a young wheelchair user, giving them a safe way to play and have fun with other children.


Join Team Whizz Kidz today, so we can reach even more young wheelchair users across the UK.

Join Team Whizz Kidz so more children like Jake can thrive...

Before receiving his Whizz Kidz wheelchair, Jake often felt left out when playing with his friends. Now, with his new powered wheelchair, he’s unstoppable! He loves playing football at school, zooming around with his teammates, and enjoying the freedom to be active and independent just like everyone else.
