At the Wheelchair Alliance, we believe that everyone should have access to the right chair at the right time. Just as important is access to the right information which is often the first step toward access to the right wheelchair.
The Wheelchair Alliance Academy is more than just a website; it is a shared space where you can find the help, advice, and confidence needed to drive positive change in wheelchair services. Although not exhaustive, we hope that the information provided here serves as a comprehensive guide – whether you are a wheelchair user, or a commissioner or provider.
Our wheelchair users section understands that, as a wheelchair user, there may be extra barriers, complications or unexpected challenges to overcome.
It can be helpful to have access to resources that go into these, providing advice, aid and lived stories of people who have overcome them.

At the Wheelchair Alliance, we recognise that high-quality provision starts with equipping commissioners and providers with the right tools. Navigating the complexities of procurement and service design requires a deep understanding of user needs and industry best practices.
To support this, our dedicated Academy pages offer a central hub of expert resources, signposting you to the essential guidance and frameworks needed to deliver person-centred excellence. From the Quality Framework to the latest best practice insights, here you will find a range of resources to equip you and your team with the knowledge needed to provide a high-quality, responsive service for wheelchair users.
