MarComms Team

The Whizz Kidz Marcomms team is a unified, purpose‑driven function dedicated to raising the voice and visibility of young wheelchair users across the UK. In 2025, following major organisational restructures and the loss of half the team, we rebuilt ourselves into a strategically aligned, high‑performing unit. Despite reduced capacity and limited budgets, we strengthened cross‑discipline collaboration, clarified roles and leaned into each other’s strengths. Weekly planning, shared responsibility and an open, supportive culture enabled us to stay resilient through rising expectations and national pressures.

Working within tight budgets during a national mobility crisis, we turned pressure into purpose, delivering some of the most impactful communications work in the charity’s history. We created and launched Childhood Can’t Wait campaign in‑house, from concept and visual identity to messaging, digital and PR, resulting in Whizz Kidz’s most successful appeal to date. Alongside this, we introduced innovative content including virtual clinic tours, refreshed video formats and stronger storytelling that elevated donor engagement and media visibility.

Young wheelchair users are at the heart of everything we do. We are creative, dynamic storytellers who transform complex challenges into clear, human narratives that inspire action. With limited resources and limitless commitment, we champion the mission and the young people behind it, with energy, imagination and purpose.
