Bee's Story
"When I became a wheelchair user it was hard to access equipment, funding and I didn't know that skills training existed, I had to relearn to access the world in my new way. I wish that I'd had a charity like Whizz Kidz to help me acclimatise, adapt, and learn my needs."
Lesley's Story
“I’ve always wanted to run the London Marathon,” Lesley says, “but most of all, I’m doing it for my son. When Tyler was six weeks old, he was shaken violently by his father. It left him needing 24-hour care and living with complex medical needs. Everything since then has been a fight — for support, for equipment, for quality of life.”
Garry and Sophia's Story
“I still remember her smile, the laughter, the joy the first time she used it. From that moment on, our happy, fun-loving princess was back.”
Stephen's Story
"The difference you make isn’t just measured in pounds. It’s about being the spark for a young person’s journey. A journey that could lead anywhere.”
