Hi @nannysquiggle. I have first-hand experience of a life insurance company which has funds set aside to provide for long-term customers who may need help such as you need. I was so lucky and delighted to have a brand new scooter of my choice [within a budget] delivered to my door in a matter of days. I don't want to name the company online but you should maybe check out any you have dealings with.

Best wishes.

Hi @nannysquiggle
It’s worth checking our grants search for organisations that may fund wheelchairs. Each organisation has its own rules about:

what they fund
the size of individual grants
eligibility (including means testing)
the assessment and supply process

Some will let you tell them what you need and get it yourself. Others will ask you to go to a specific supplier for an assessment.

@nannysquiggle....not sure if I would be allowed to post this link but this is what I meant. There may very well be others out there.
