Whizz Kidz

It's Berlin Marathon day and we couldn't be prouder of our incredible Team Whizz Kidz runners taking on all 42.2km for young wheelchair users across the UK 💛

Meet some of the amazing team pounding the pavement today and hear why they're running for Whizz Kidz.

Every step. Every mile. Every pound raised means more young wheelchair users get the equipment, skills and confidence to go further.

Join us in sending them the loudest "VIEL GLÜCK" from across the Channel!

Recent Whizz Kidz research found that 96% of young wheelchair users are concerned about the decline of accessible taxis – a lifeline for independence, freedom and simply getting from A to B like everyone else.

That's why we're thrilled to announce our new partnership with Freenow by Lyft. Together, we're on a mission to:

♿ Raise awareness of the barriers young wheelchair users face every day
🚖 Champion accessible transport as a right, not a luxury
🌟 Create more opportunities for young people to access the mobility equipment they need to thrive

🌟 What a day!

Our Kidz Max day in Lincolnshire was unforgettable! Young wheelchair users and their families spent the day doing a range of accessible activities.

Days like this are about trying something new, making new friends and showing what's possible when everything is inclusive.

Thank you to our friends at PGL Adventures for making it happen.

It was great to be at the opening of Barratt Redrow's first inclusive play area at Frenchay Park, Bristol.

We were proud to contribute to their Inclusive Play Design Standard, working alongside young wheelchair users to make sure these spaces work for everyone.

This is the first play area delivered under Barratt Redrow's commitment to inclusive play on every new development. That's real, lasting change. 🙌
