Hi Ladies,
Could you all list the charities that you have applied to to get equipment for your lovely children. I have react but am stuck where to find out anything else.
This could then become a sticky and would be great help for us all and newcomers.

Thanks

Google ‘contact a family’ – they helped me claim for a weighted blanket for R. They also gave me a list of grant making trusts and organisations.

Does anyone know if there’s any charities that help disabled parents to look after their children? My OT can provide adult equipment for me and any equipment my daughter needs because she is disabled but nobody can provide things she needs because I am disabled. I mean things like a sliding door cot, a rise and fall bath seat, a radio hearing aid so a parent can hear their child talking, that kind of thing. There is a lot of impact on kids’ lives from this sort of thing and there doesn’t seem to be anyone filling this funding gap.
