Grant News
Parents, teachers physiotherapists, and occupational therapists of a child or young person under the age of 19 living with a disability or long-term health condition, can now apply for funding to purchase a new wheelchair.
The funding is made available by children’s charity Variety, which will fund bespoke wheelchairs for any purpose, including manual, powered and sports wheelchairs that are not available through local authority wheelchair services in England, Wales & Scotland.
Applicants, which can include the child themselves (aged 13 and over), will need to provide a letter of support for the item required from a relevant healthcare professional.
Applications can be made at any time, and will be considered by the Wheelchair Committee.
