About
Wheeling & Able
Wheeling & Able commenced in 1932 as the Newcastle & District Crippled Children’s Association and has continued, over the last almost 90 years, to assist more than 16,000 families in the Hunter region to obtain mobility aids and equipment for children with physical disabilities.
Wheeling & Able is a self-funded charity and does not receive any government funding, so this amazing achievement has been reached through the generosity of individuals, business and community organisations.
