Children Today

Often children and young people with disabilities are excluded from a lifestyle which others take for granted. They want to join in and take part in the same sorts of activities, within their capabilities, as other children. They want to gain more independence from their parents as they get older, but are often prevented from doing so.

The provision of specialised equipment has a direct and immediate impact on a child's quality of life and independence, and is vital in helping them to overcome obstacles and achieve their potential. Equipment can include wheelchairs, walking frames, tricycles, as well as communication aids, multi-sensory equipment and technology.

We rely totally on voluntary donations and receive no funding from the government or social services. There is no statutory right for young people with disabilities to be provided with equipment they need by the government or NHS, so we provide this service for children and young people right up to the age of 25.
