Whizz-Kidz can arrange wheelchair skills training courses in local communities if we have a minimum of five wheelchair users signed up to take part. We work with powered and manual chair users and can tailor the course at beginner, intermediate, and advanced level, or for complex needs. We can also incorporate wheelchair sports taster sessions. 

Please register your interest if you would like us to arrange a course in your area.
