Whizz Kidz

Whizz Kidz is the UK’s leading charity supporting young wheelchair users. Whizz Kidz exists because there are 75,000 young people in the UK who need a wheelchair to be mobile, however most aren’t getting a wheelchair that fully meets their needs through the NHS. The wrong wheelchair can lead to dependence on others, social isolation, poor mental health, pain and injury, as well as restricted opportunities to socialise and participate in society. Our vision is a society in which every young wheelchair user is mobile, enabled and included. Our purpose is to empower young wheelchair users by providing the equipment, support and confidence-building experiences they need, and campaigning for a more inclusive society.
