Whizz-Kidz young ambassadors consult on Exhibition Road in London

This short-film features Whizz-Kidz ambassadors highlighting the challenges and dangers experienced by wheelchair-users visiting Londons Exhibition Road - home to the Science Museum and Natural History Museum, and was produced by The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea (RBKC) and Whizz-Kidz.

The Council invited four Whizz-Kidz ambassadors to spend a day auditing and assessing the current design of Exhibition Road. The film sees the young people, led by Arunima Misra, visiting the area before meeting with Councillors to contribute ideas on how its planned transformation ahead of the 2012 Olympics can best meet the needs of the many young disabled people who visit the street each year.
