Whizz-Kidz

Who we are

Whizz Kidz: the facts

Over 75,000 young people aren’t getting the wheelchair or support that fully meets their needs. Without the ability to be independent young wheelchair users are restricted in their ability to socialise and participate in society.

We’re here to change that.

As the UK’s leading charity for young wheelchair users (up to 25 years old), we empower young people by providing the wheelchairs, equipment, support and confidence-building experiences they need, and campaigning for a more inclusive society.

And we won’t stop until they are mobile, enabled and included.

Our culture and values

Our vision is a society in which every young wheelchair user is mobile, enabled and included.

Mobile: We provide high-quality, personalised equipment for young people who need wheelchairs.

Enabled: We create services and confidence-building activities that give young people the skills and tools to be more independent.

Included: We campaign and work with young wheelchair users to create societal change and develop a more inclusive world.

Our values

We are young people focused, ambitious, collaborative and inclusive.

Our behaviours

Seek to understand, Engage with others, Find solutions and Focus on growth 

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Whizz Kidz is committed to eliminating discrimination, encouraging and valuing diversity and promoting equal opportunities both in the area of service delivery and amongst our workforce. We are committed to being a Disability Confident Employer.

Our aim is that all service users, colleagues and volunteers feel respected and those we help through our service delivery and employ in our workforce will be truly representative of all sections of society.
