Clocking up the miles
We help with many different types of mobility equipment, specific to the needs and situation of each individual.
Off exploring
Mobility equipment is key to getting people living with a disability out and about in their local community and giving them independence.
Staying active
There are many ways of staying active when you get older and walking football is one of them.
Walking wheels providing freedom
Specialist equipment for disabled people provides freedom and independence for a long time to come.
Activities for older people
We provide funding for groups activities such as physical exercise, arts and crafts, flower arranging, music therapy and singing.
Green outdoor space
Outdoor space where people can get social, healthier and happier is more important now than ever.
What's happening and who we've helped
At the beginning of this year we awarded funding to Shift Together. They are a community interest company based in Treorchy, Cardiff. They are dedicated to providing free accessible mental health support groups within RCT and South Wales.
Earlier this year we awarded funding to Redberth Croft CIC for their market garden project.
On 5th July, a 10 strong team of care home workers and family members from Barchester Healthcare’s Lethen Park care home in Portlethen tackled a 10 mile hike to raise money for Barchester’s Charitable Foundation.
