Wheelchair Grants

The right wheelchair can transform a child’s daily life, giving them greater comfort, safety, independence and freedom to explore the world around them. We want every child to have the equipment they need to reach their own unique potential and take part in life on their own terms. Our grants help families across Yorkshire meet the cost of suitable wheelchairs, so children can access the world with greater confidence and independence.

How wheelchair 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.

Kelly's story

Kelly's story
Kelly’s mobility is significantly affected by kyphoscoliosis, and she no longer has the strength to move her manual wheelchair independently.

With support from Yorkshire Children’s Charity, she received £5,500 towards an electric wheelchair, giving her greater independence to move around school, spend time with friends and make her own choices.
Practical support for children across Yorkshire when life gets harder.
