Hi, my name is chana. Looking for funding for a P-Pod chair

chanabibi

hello

I am the mother and full-time carer of an 18-year-old daughter who has severe cerebral palsy. She is a full-time wheelchair user, cannot walk or speak, and requires 24-hour care.
I am currently looking for funding to purchase a P-Pod chair (a comfortable, supportive home chair) for her. Could you please let me know funding for specialist equipment for young adults aged 18?

Hi @chanabibi, welcome to the community ☺️

You could try taking a look at Turn2Us grant search to see if there's anything suitable there: https://grants-search.turn2us.org.uk/

But I'll tag our Cerebral Palsy team as they may know of some other places that you could try: @Richard_Scope, @Lucy_Scope, and @SaraC_Scope

As we're coming towards the end of the day, they may not get back to you until tomorrow but I'm sure they'll have some helpful advice to share.

Hope you and your daughter can find what you need.

thank you
