There are an estimated 75,000 young people in the UK who need a wheelchair to be mobile. Most young people aren't getting a wheelchair that fully meets their needs through the NHS, and having the wrong wheelchair can lead to dependence on others, social isolation, poor mental health, pain and injury. Without the ability to be independent young wheelchair users are restricted in their ability to socialise and participate in society.
Whizz-Kidz believe in a society in which every young wheelchair user is mobile, enabled and included. They exist to empower young wheelchair users, just like Caitlin, by providing the equipment, support and confidence-building experiences they need, and campaigning for a more inclusive society.
