Hi @maggiesgirls3
Thanks for posting your query, it's lovely to see you getting involved in the community.
What sort of help would you be looking for from the charity? Is it financial help in terms of supporting to fund the day out or would you require support in terms of a personal assistant (PA) to go with you?Online Community CoordinatorConcerned about another member's safety or wellbeing?

It is financial help I am after I also wanted to know what other charities would help

My daughter is a adult which makes it harder to find financial help.

Hi,I'm not aware of any financial help for this when you're an adult. Is your daughter (and yourself) claiming all the benefits you're entitled to?You could refer her for a needs assessment to see if there's any help available out there. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/social-care-and-support-guide/help-from-social-services-and-charities/getting-a-needs-assessment/
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help. -

No she received no support from anyone

We never received any help throughout her life she is a adult now and we are funding it even harder to get financial help for days out

It's very unlikely you'll find any funding for this. As previously advised..poppy123456 said:Is your daughter (and yourself) claiming all the benefits you're entitled to?

Hi @maggiesgirls3
Thanks for reaching out to us. What a great question too. I can hear just how much of a difference financial help for days out could help you and your daughter.
As our wonderful community has already suggested, I am wondering if you have been able to navigate some wider financial benefits for being on low income?
Generally, financial help through charities for adults to have days out depends on your local area and the specific needs of your daughter. If you would like to share more with us about the needs of your daughter, we are here to listen. Otherwise, it might be best to do a quick Google search.
In the meantime, one charity which might be able to help you is called Zebra Children and Adults Charity. According to Sky Badger, "the charity provides recreational funding to people living with disabilities, and those who have undiagnosed conditions that limit their daily life. The funding will give people the chance to access leisure facilities and recreation where they want and in their own free time. The funding can be put towards a family holiday or a short break. The funding is available to disabled children and adults throughout the UK."
I hope this helps but please keep us up to date, we are all here for you bothCommunity Volunteer Adviser with professional knowledge of education, special educational needs and disabilities and EHCP's. Pronouns: She/her.
Please note: if I use the online community outside of its hours of administration, I am doing so in a personal capacity only.
