    Hello @Ste456

    Welcome to the community, it's lovely to see you join us.

    Sorry that it is too expensive to buy at the moment, have you perhaps considered tring to find one that is pre-owned? Often used equipment can come at a cheaper price. 

    Scope have an information page about buying used disability equipment that you might find useful.

     

    This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m hopeful that you’ll find it to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 I have included below a few of the pages I’d recommend having a look through to get used to things:

    • The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
    • The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
    • The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

    If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.

    Hello Ste

    The turn2uswebsite have a grants finder.. you can search to see if there are any grants you can apply for. There are some specific for wheelchairs so well worth a look. 

    There are also some grants by profession so if you work in a specific field from clergy to accounting to teaching there may be a benevolent fund.  Local community trusts etc
