Applications Funded
We fund multiple applications every year. Here are just a few examples of applications that have been successful in receiving funding during the last year:
Teddy
We bought a specialist Car Seat for Teddy who has two rare genetic
conditions affecting his mobility (PGK/1 Phosphoglycerate kinase and TLK/2 Toussled like Kinase).
The first affects some of his muscles, causing weakness and tightening, and this is evident in his legs. The latter genetic condition means he has severe learning difficulties and is unable to speak.
The car seat provides full bodily support and security and swivels enabling
ease of access and reduction in discomfort for his parents.

Harry
We funded a specialist Trike for a Harry who has Cerebal Palsy (with
right sided hemiplegia meaning he has no use of his right arm or hand),
autistic spectrum disorder, epilepsy and moderate learning difficulties.
The Trike not only helps with physio, to strengthen his right leg, but also means that Harry can join in cycling activities and have fun with his friends and family.
Specialist Trike
Evan
We funded an Assistive Puppy for Evan who has autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, low muscle tone, moderate learning difficulties and global development delay.
The dog (who Evan has named Cooper) is being trained to specifically support Evan to help calm him and aide him in his independence. For example, once fully trained, Cooper will respond to Evan’s repetitive behaviours and ticks, give comfort when anxious and help build Evan’s confidence and focus.
