Activities  (Additional information provided by charity)Additional information provided by charity

Whizz-Kidz changes disabled children's lives. By providing them with customised mobility equipment, training and advice, we actually give them something much more important - we give them the independence to live a life of freedom at home, at school and at play; the independence to be themselves.

We also work to raise awareness of mobility issues through national campaigning. The service we provide is not available from the NHS yet it has an enormous impact on the lives of disabled children and their families througout the UK.
