We’ve Hit £100,000 – Thank You for Helping Us Unlock Childhoods!

We are absolutely thrilled to be celebrating an incredible milestone for Whizz Kidz: £100,000 raised through The Express Childhood Can’t Wait Appeal! This is a moment of huge pride and gratitude for everyone at Whizz Kidz – and it’s all thanks to the extraordinary generosity of Express readers and supporters.

When this campaign began, we never imagined reaching this figure so quickly. As a relatively small charity, every single pound makes a real and tangible difference, and this outpouring of kindness will be truly life-changing for the young wheelchair users we exist to support.

Across the UK, too many children are still waiting for the essential mobility equipment they need to simply be children – to play, learn, explore, and keep up with their friends. Reaching £100,000 brings us significantly closer to reopening our waitlist, meaning we can support more families whose lives are currently on hold. Quite simply, your support helps us unlock childhoods.

The powerful stories shared through the Express Christmas Appeal have shone a vital spotlight on the urgency of this need. The children featured – and the thousands they represent – are not limited by their disability, but by a lack of the right equipment. Thanks to you, that is changing.

From all of us at Whizz Kidz, and from the children and families you are helping: thank you. To the Express, its journalists and editors, and to every reader who donated, shared, or championed this appeal – your compassion shows young wheelchair users that they are seen, valued, and worthy of investment.

Together, we are proving that childhood really can’t wait
