Whizz-Kidz is a Victoria based charity that is all about giving disabled children and young people the independence to enjoy an active childhood – at home, at school and at play. By providing them with mobility equipment, training, advice and life skills, they actually give them something much more important, the independence to be themselves. Whizz-Kidz make an immediate and life changing difference to the lives of the children and young people they work with.

As a volunteer at an Ambassador Club you play a vital role in helping us provide this opportunity. You don’t need any prior knowledge of wheelchair use or disability, but you do need a positive attitude and lots of energy! Several clubs take place every six to eight weeks, usually on a Saturday or during the school holidays. Volunteers can partake as a one off but both young people and ambassadors will get more from the experience if they are able to get involved more frequently.
