Motability Announces New Wheelchair Grants Programme (UK)

Motability, which is a national charity that supports the transport needs of disabled people has announced the launch of its Wheelchair Sector Grant Programme.  Charities and organisations can apply for grants of between £100,000 and £4 million to improve and expand access to good quality affordable wheelchairs. Grants are available to:

  • Fill current gaps in provision for groups of people who are excluded from receiving help from existing sources/providers.
  • Enable charities and organisations to help individuals by topping up self-funding.
  • Raise awareness of the challenges faced by disabled people in obtaining suitable, quality and affordable wheelchairs.
  • Help fund high quality and affordable equipment.
  • Fund schemes, programmes and initiatives that already exist, and who provide best practice solutions, but need further support to remain operational or scale up the service they can provide to help more disabled people.

Please note, that these grants are for charities and organisations only. Individuals cannot apply for help with wheelchair funding through this grant programme.

Applications can be made to the programme at any time until March 2025.
