We did it. 🏆💛

We're incredibly proud to have won the Purpose Award for Best Fundraising Campaign for Childhood Can't Wait - in partnership with Red Consultancy - a campaign that was driven entirely by the young wheelchair users who refused to wait any longer for change.

This one's for them. And for every single person who stood alongside them.

Thank you. 🙌

Our volunteers make everything possible. And these young people wanted to share exactly what that means to them. 💛

To every single one of you - we couldn't do this without you.

Meet some of our unsung heroes - our incredible Youth Board. 💫

Made up entirely of young wheelchair users, our Youth Board volunteers give their time to shape the future of Whizz Kidz - feeding into decisions, championing change, and making sure young people's voices are always at the heart of what we do.

This Volunteers' Week, we want to say a huge thank you to each and every one of them. You inspire us every single day. 💛

🪄 Behind every great wheelchair is a great engineer. From repairs to custom adjustments, our team makes sure every chair is ready to take on the world - just like the young people who use them. 🔧💪💛

John keeps the wheels turning - literally. Whether it's a quick fix or a full build, nothing leaves the clinic until it's just right.

"Making a difference to young people, giving them their independence and their mobility. Solving problems that families have and improving the quality of life of the family as well as the young person." - John

🪄 Meet the people who make the magic happen. Our clinical team work closely with every young person to make sure their wheelchair fits them and their life perfectly. Because the right chair changes everything. 💛

Sarah has been helping young wheelchair users go further for 28 years. One fitting at a time, one smile at a time.

"I love to see how much difference it makes to the child and the smiles on their faces when they actually find they can move — they can move themselves. And then as they get a bit older, or as they come back to see me again, you can actually see the difference that that piece of equipment has made to the whole family, and how much independence they each get from it."
Sarah, Clinical Manager

Honestly? We're still not over it. 🥹

The London Marathon 2026 was something else.

Our Whizz Kidz runners, you absolutely smashed it!! Every mile, every blister, every cheer at the sideline… we felt every single one of it.
Thank you for running for our young wheelchair users. 💛🏅

Today we’re saying a huge thank you to Caitlyn, who is completing her time on the Whizz Kidz Youth Board 💜

As Scotland representative, Caitlyn has brought creativity, energy and a strong voice for accessibility throughout her time on the board.

One unforgettable highlight was seeing her fashion-inspired Morph design displayed outside St Paul’s Cathedral as part of London’s first step-free art trail ✨

Caitlyn says: “Go for it. It’s rewarding and you’ll learn so much while working alongside a brilliant group of young people.”

Thank you, Caitlyn, for everything you’ve brought to Whizz Kidz. We can’t wait to see what you do next.
