Action for Kids

Action For Kids is a national charity helping children and young people with physical and learning disabilities. We transform young lives not only by supplying wheelchairs but by providing opportunities for work and training. We provide and maintain sophisticated mobility equipment that is not available on the NHS. We also have a Work Related Learning programme in our head office and an Outreach programme in schools, giving work experience to disabled students. A new service called Towards Independence trains young disabled people in domestic and other practical life skills, such as handling money and using public transport.
