Support for People With Physical & Learning Disabilities & Mental Health Issues: Delivery & Increasing Capacity
Launched in August 2022, the partnership with Whizz-Kidz plans to deliver 12 Kidz Max Days. It aims to reduce isolation, enhance health and wellbeing, improve confidence, increase employability opportunities and build leadership skills.
So far, four Kidz Max Days have taken place across the UK, hosting 256 young wheelchair users and their families for an adventurous day out. This has allowed families to spend time together, meet others and enjoy a day without worrying about accessibility and cost.
When surveyed, 100% of respondents said they would recommend and attend a future Kidz Max Days. The success of the Kidz Max Days has inspired Whizz-Kidz to incorporate elements of them into their monthly clubs. For example, they will have a renewed focus on parent and sibling inclusion and support.
