Eligibility criteria:
-
Applications must be submitted before your child’s 18th birthday.
-
Does your child have a physical disability that permanently affects their mobility and participation?
-
Have you approached your local NHS wheelchair service and found that the mobility equipment that your child needs is not available/provided?
If you answered yes to the above questions then Whizz Kidz may be able to help you.
Please note: Whizz Kidz regrets that with immediate effect, and for the foreseeable future, we will be pausing applications for trikes, sports chairs, other recreational equipment and buggies. We will only fund buggies for children with complex needs who are unable to walk and for recreational use only, to enable access to outdoor activities and environments where the child’s daily wheelchair is unable to be used. This action is being taken due to our rapidly increasing application rate along with consideration of how and where our clinical teams can best use their skills.
