At Action For Kids they believe mobility equipment is one of the great enablers for young people with disabilities. They provide young people up to the age of 26 with mobility equipment not available on the NHS.
Action For Kids welcomes applications from, or on behalf of, any child or young person up to 26 years old, suffering from any physical or mental condition that requires a mobility aid or other equipment that facilitates independence. However they are only able to accept applications for equipment which is not normally available from a statutory body.
In the last year Action For Kids has supplied buggies, car seats, electric scooters, sports wheelchairs, trikes , walkers, and power packs, and welcome applications for any of these.
Check their website for details of how to apply.

Trikes & Bikes for
Disabled Children
Cycling is so good for kids. As well as being a lot of fun, it gives them independence, exercise, and helps them improve stamina and co-ordination. Even if your child has limited movement or profound learning problems, there are tandems and trailers that enable the whole family to go out and get active together.
How to choose the right bike/trike
- Put together a list of must-have’s and take a look at our links. A few things to think about:
- Does your child need an extra wheel, or head and neck support?
- Does the bike need to be a specific colour?
- Is it adjustable so the trike can grow with your child?
- Does your child need straps or stabilisers so they can cycle safely?
- Does your child need power assistance to use the bike?
- Have you thought about passenger cycles, trailers or tandems? If your child can’t power a bike, it doesn’t mean they can’t enjoy being part of a cycling team.
- Remember you can accessorize your child’s bike like crazy and make it as amazing as they deserve it to be.
