As a matter of policy AWC actively works in partnership with other voluntary and statutory organisations to ensure a comprehensive programme of mobility skills training courses takes place. This not only ensures that our financial and staff resources are used as effectively as possible but is also one of the best ways we can serve the children, carers and families we work with.

In the past, our specialist courses were promoted mainly through the charity's links with child development centres, physiotherapists and wheelchair services across the UK. However with a growing number of children and teenagers largely unaware of AWC's specialist wheelchair training courses, finding a way to promote these courses to wheelchair using children remains one of our single biggest challenges.

In 2003 we were pleased to add The Family Fund to our list of Healthcare Professionals.  The Family Fund is a registered charity which helps families of disabled and seriously ill children under the age of 16 by awarding grants and offering information related to the care of the child. The range of grants includes holidays, leisure, laundry equipment, driving lessons and lots more. We hope that this new partnership will result in more wheelchair-using children being given the choice of attending one of our specialist mobility skills training courses.
