Action For Kids

Creating independence, providing opportunities, offering support for disabled young people.

Action For Kids is a national charity helping children and young people with physical disabilities and learning difficulties. We transform young lives not only by supplying wheelchairs and mobility equipment, but by providing real opportunities for work and training.

We provide mobility equipment to children and young people up to the age of 26. We raise funds to supply equipment that is not normally available on the NHS, such as sophisticated powered wheelchairs which enable the user to stand up or travel long distances. Unlike other charities, we don't merely supply the equipment: we also offer a maintenance and repair program to keep wheelchairs in tip-top condition.

Action For Kids provides work related learning and office experience for young people with physical learning and difficulties aged 14 - 26. Students come to our head office to do real work in a real workplace. We also offer an Outreach program, teaching work related learning in special needs and mainstream schools.

Our Family Support Services department provides a Helpline for families, providing practical advice or just someone to listen and understand.
