Parents, physiotherapists, and occupational therapists of a child or young person under the age of 18 living with a disability or long-term health condition, can now apply for funding to purchase a new wheelchair.
Key Criteria
Variety will fund bespoke wheelchairs for any purpose, including manual, powered and sports wheelchairs that are not available through local authority wheelchair services in England, Wales and Scotland.
Applicants, who can include the child themselves, will need to provide a letter of support for the item required from a relevant healthcare professional.
Applications can be made at any time and will be considered by the Wheelchair Committee which meets six time per year.
