Details

This funding round aims to make an impact by awarding grants to improve and expand access to good quality, affordable wheelchairs and mobility equipment for disabled people.

It funds access to wheelchairs and mobility equipment, and additional support such as assessments and maintenance. This includes: 

• Grant programmes for wheelchairs and mobility equipment.
• Loan schemes for wheelchairs and mobility equipment.
• Training.
• Assessments.
• Maintenance.

Your grant can be used for:

• Funding for schemes, programmes and initiatives that already exist, and provide best practice solutions, but need support to remain operational or scale up the service they provide to help more disabled people.
• Staff and volunteer training or costs.
• Full cost recovery grants which include indirect costs.
• Local or regional initiatives to increase awareness of wheelchair service provision.

Grant funding must be used to support disabled people living in the UK. They're particularly interested in funding projects that deliver meaningful impact in deprived areas, or to underrepresented groups.

There are two different grant streams: large and small grants. Refer to the respective page via their website.
