Disability Grants News - Help Us to Help You - October 2021 October 28, 2021 |
Welcome to the October 2021 edition of Disability Grants News. It has been a while since Disability Grants sent out a newsletter so there’s a lot to catch up on! The Covid 19 Pandemic has taken its toll with charities closing or reducing the support they can offer through lack of funding or staff furlough. Much of our time has been spent updating the website to reflect these changes. There may be other changes that we don’t know about so please notify us through our online form: Before starting your search for grants I recommend that you take the time to read about grants… Adults About Grants section Children and Young People Grants for Disabled Children – An Introduction This will give you a grounding on how to apply and what you can apply for. The website’s Site Search has also been updated to make it easier for you to search for grants. Please check that you met a Charity’s grant criteria before making an application. Each charity is different. There have been too many additions and changes to mention so this newsletter is going to focus on an appeal for help and news items.

This has had a great response but we need your help to find more organisations that provide household items at cost, reduced price or free. This includes white goods, beds, carpets, sofa and any other essential items. If you complete the online form we will add the details to the map. As soon as your information is added to the map it will be live on the website. This will help both individuals and Professionals who are supporting individuals, children and families with disabilities. secondhand-furniture-and-household-items.html
