Whizz-Kidz Wheelchair Skills Holiday Clubs

Description

Service Description

Our services are for young wheelchair users. These clubs are for people who want to meet up and try new activities with other young people, and are for wheelchair users aged between 2 and 25 years. Healthcare Support is provided at these clubs, specifically support with additional medical needs.

Our free youth clubs for young people 2 – 25 cover a host of fun and exciting activities that include wheelchair tennis, wheelchair dance, drama workshops, art, graffiti arts, music, cinema trips and days out, all decided upon and curated by our young people. Our youth clubs adapt to the needs of the group: The trainer ensures all activities are accessible to all our young people.

These clubs are for young people who want a safe space to practice, and we offer them to children and young people aged between 2 and 25 years. This club is open to all, meaning that those full, part time and occasional wheelchair users; those who rely 1:1 support with skills and can’t self-propel; and those really advanced wheelchair users who want a safe space to practice wheelies, are all welcome
