Grants for Individuals

Every child needs to be comfortable and supported in their environment in order to reach their own, unique potential. To nurture this, certain specialist equipment is vital.

How Individual Grants Work

We understand how tough and costly it can be caring for a child with additional needs, and want to do all we can to make life easier for families across Yorkshire.

That’s why, at Yorkshire Children’s Charity, we support families across the region, like yours, who need a grant for specialist equipment.

If it matters to you, it matters to us

Play and leisure are important. But we also recognise the difference practical amenities, such as specialist baths and hoists, make to a child and their family. So however big, or small, your request might be, we will do all we can to help. If it matters to you, it matters to us.

Are you interested in helping make things better?

If you want to make things better, you can. Donations of money is always great; but we also need volunteers to help out; or people willing to donate valuable skills from PPC to plastering.
