Get Kids Going

Get Kids Going funds individual disabled young people across the UK to participate in sport, covering a wide range of activities such as athletics, wheelchair rugby, skiing, and boccia. Support includes bespoke sports wheelchairs, specialist equipment, and direct grants for training, physiotherapy, sports psychology, travel, competition fees, and equipment development. The charity aims to remove financial and practical barriers, enabling participation from grassroots to Paralympic levels. There are no geographic restrictions within the UK, and the charity supports all physical disabilities. It also recycles outgrown equipment and builds long-term relationships with athletes, nurturing talent across various sports.

Eligible applicants are individual disabled children and young people up to age 26 who are UK residents. The charity prioritises those with commitment, potential, or elite pathways in their chosen sport. There are no organisational income limits or geographic restrictions within the UK. The charity exclusively funds individuals, not organisations, and supports all physical disabilities. Applicants should demonstrate a genuine interest in sport and a desire to progress, whether for recreation or competition.

Get Kids Going does not fund charities, organisations, core costs, or non-sport purposes. It focuses solely on individual disabled young people and their sporting needs, excluding any support for organisational overheads or activities outside sport.

Get Kids Going provides direct grants to individuals, often for high-cost specialist equipment and activities. It builds long-term relationships with athletes, offering sustained support for personal and sporting growth. The charity also recycles outgrown equipment, reflecting a practical and sustainable approach. It does not accept unsolicited applications, instead working by invitation or through a structured process to identify and support eligible young people.
