Whizz-Kidz is focused on raising awareness of the importance of mobility for disabled children. In order to campaign effectively we sometimes produce, and commission, reports that highlight the importance of the right wheelchair – and its impact on children and their families. Here you'll find these reports, plus you'll also find more specific resources and downloads for supporters, Parliamentarians and schools.
