Get Kids
Going! is a National charity which gives disabled
children and young people - up to the age of 26
yrs - the wonderful opportunity of participating
in sport. We provide them with specially built
sports’ wheelchairs so they can do marathons,
triathlons, tennis, athletics, mountain skiing,
rugby, basketball etc. Get Kids Going! also helps
and encourages British disabled children to
compete by supporting them with their sports;
training, physiotherapy, travel, design and
development of sports’ wheelchairs. With your help
many could become record holders and Olympic
champions!
Get Kids Going! also provides
personalised manual wheelchairs and trikes for
children to use every day; at home, at school, and
to enable them to play with their friends. We
believe that all disabled children and young
people should receive the right equipment to get
them going!
We also believe that disabled
children should have the best care and assistance
they desperately need. We support children with
all disabilities and make sure that any equipment
which is out grown is recycled to other children,
so supporters’ valuable donations are never
wasted.Many people who support Get Kids Going!
feel a marvellous sense of achievement and
satisfaction. They see that even the smallest
donation makes an amazing difference to a disabled
child’s life.
Get Kids Going! gives
disabled children and young people the chance of a
life time, freedom, and many wonderful
opportunities that you and I take for granted.
Opportunities they may never have without you and
the help of Get Kids Going! No other charity in
Britain focuses on helping disabled children and
young people with sport in the same way. The cost
of a sports wheelchair is about £3,000. A
lightweight manual wheelchair is around £2,000 and
a trike £800. All are designed individually, and
perform... just like a Formula 1 Racing
Car!
Over 200,000 disabled children and
young people in Britain need the help of Get Kids
Going! They desperately want special manual
wheelchairs, trikes and other mobility equipment.
Also another 50,000 disabled children and
youngsters need sports wheelchairs to let them
compete in their chosen sport.
