Who and what we fund
We are a small charity making a big difference in your local community to the lives of older people and other adults with a disability or mental health conditions. We help individuals, small community groups and small local charities.
We help people and groups based in England, Scotland, Wales and Jersey.
Our funding focus is about connecting or re-connecting people with others in their local community. We support applications that combat loneliness and enable people to be active and engaged.
We help individuals, but please note that all applications for named individuals must be completed by a third party who knows the individual in a professional or community-based capacity.
We help individuals with:
- Manual and powered wheelchairs
- Mobility scooters
- Specialised trikes / bikes
- Car adaptations
Our grants for individuals range from £100 up to £1,000.
We also help small community groups and small local charities. We do not have a formal definition for a small charity, but if a charity has financial reserves in the hundreds of thousands or millions, it is very unlikely that we would be able to help.
We help groups with:
- Activity projects
- Equipment and materials for use by members
- Member transport
- Day trips, outings and group holidays in the UK
Our grants for groups range from £100 up to £2,500.
It takes us up to 10 weeks to process an application.
