Get Kids Going!
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Get Kids Going! fits organisations working on sport for disabled children and young people up to the age of 26, since that is who it supports, so work outside that age group or outside sport does not match its stated focus.
- Its grants run from £500 to £15,000, and a bespoke sports wheelchair alone can cost £4,000 to £7,000, so a request tied to one clear item or a defined period of training, travel or equipment is the realistic shape.
- The charity says it has found it works better alongside organisations than with individual athletes, so a club or group supporting young disabled athletes should frame its request that way, although applications can also be made directly to the charity.
- It lists national as its priority area and accepts applications on a rolling basis, but each one goes through a formal, detailed application and a comprehensive review by the trustees and chief executive, so allow time for that process.

It provides specially built sports wheelchairs and sports grants for training, physiotherapy, sports psychology, travel, accommodation, competition fees and sports equipment. Its support helps young athletes compete in events from start to Paralympic level. Grants may meet one-off purchases or, depending on circumstances, longer-term staged support.
