I am taking part in the 2026 London Marathon with Team Whizz Kidz!

Whizz Kidz is the UK's leading charity supporting young wheelchair users up to 25 years old. More than 75,000 young people in the UK need a wheelchair to be mobile. Most have no access to a wheelchair that’s right for them, leaving them at risk of social isolation, poor mental health, and physical injury.

Whizz Kidz provide the right equipment, skills, and confidence young wheelchair users need to go further, while campaigning for a more open and accessible society.

Every donation will get Whizz Kidz closer to their vision of a society in which every young wheelchair user is mobile, enabled, and included.

CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS:

$40 could pay for a young person to take part in a Whizz Kidz activity session. From wheelchair rugby to robotics, Whizz Kidz's programs build confidence and independence. They are a great way for young wheelchair users to meet up and make new friends.

$130 could provide an hour of support for a young wheelchair user and their family from an expert Whizz Kidz therapist. An initial phone assessment with a family will let Whizz Kidz start understanding their needs and begin identifying the right equipment to give them more independence and freedom.

$470 could fund a child’s Whizz Kidz Wheelchair Skills Training course. This is where a young wheelchair user can learn how to navigate the world safely, confidently, and in style. Through fun games and activities, they can develop all the skills they need to open up their world, become more independent and reduce isolation.

$800 could enable a Whizz Kidz Mobility Engineer to carry out a Repair & Maintenance appointment with a young wheelchair user. Visiting them at home or school, any equipment problems can be fixed so they can continue to use their wheelchair safely and enjoy their independence.

$1,730 could pay for Whizz Kidz to provide an adapted trike for a young person. Many young wheelchair user cannot ride standard bikes due to physical impairments or restricted movements. At Whizz Kidz, we know the sheer joy an adapted trike can bring to a disabled child’s life. Our trikes give them a safe way to play and have fun with their friends.

$8,000 could fund Whizz Kidz to provide a powered wheelchair to a young person. These life-changing pieces of equipment allow children to participate fully at school and in social activities and help them keep up with siblings and classmates. Specialist features, like seat- risers, help young people be more independent, so they can reach a toy or book they want from a shelf or speak to their peers at eye level.
