Whizz Kidz

Whizz Kidz is here for young wheelchair users. We want every young person who uses a wheelchair to get one that meets their needs. Together, we create opportunities for our community to access the equipment, skills and confidence to go further.

Meet Aniyah

Meet Aniyah
Aniyah is a chatterbox who loves hugging everyone. Born with spina bifida, she can’t walk more than a few steps and needs a wheelchair to move around. But her big bulky chair was holding her back from feeling the freedom of being five years old.

From frustration to freedom

From frustration to freedom
Her mum had to push her everywhere. Aniyah grew frustrated, being made to feel different. “Why can’t I jump in the puddles?” she asked. Now, with a bespoke wheelchair from Whizz Kidz, she can splash through them instead as she plays with her friends.

Make a young life unstoppable

Make a young life unstoppable
Over 75,000 young people in the UK need wheelchairs to get around. They have the same dreams, but they don’t have the same opportunities because many can’t access the right equipment. Donate now to give life-changing wheelchairs, skills and support.
