Hello @caphy and welcome to the community!
It may be worth getting in touch with the lovely people at Whizz Kids, a fantastic charity that provides wheelchairs for disabled children and young people - they may be able to offer advice if nothing else.
Hope that helps!

Hi @caphy! You might find this online grants search helpful, to see if any of the organisations are applicable for you.
I've removed your mobile number from your original post as sharing contact details is against our community guidelines, but the above organisations will have ways for you to get in touch with them directly. Hope this helps and best of luck! -
