Disabled children and young people face huge inequalities to accessing appropriate equipment. We fund specialist mobility equipment nationally for disabled children and young people from birth to their 26th birthday. The equipment we fund is recommended by, but unavailable from, the NHS. This includes powered, manual and sports wheelchairs, specialist trikes and buggies, power assists, car seats, and walkers. Uniquely, we cover all repair and maintenance costs for equipment provided.
There are 1.4 million people in the UK who have a learning disability, yet, just 5% are in paid employment. - Disabled young people aged 16-18 were at least twice as likely as their non-disabled peers to be not in education, employment or training - By the age of 26, disabled people are four times more likely to be out of work compared to non-disabled people We work with children and young people aged 11-26 with disabilities and autism to enable them to overcome the barriers to employment
