ReplyDeleteYou may want to consider applying for the Patrick Trust Grant:
ReplyDeleteAccording to the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign web site, "The Joseph Patrick Trust provides vital financial support towards specialist equipment to help promote mobility and independence and empower people with muscular dystrophy or a related muscle disease. Since 1986 over £3 million has been given out in grants making a huge difference to over 5,000 people with muscular dystrophy.
Every year more than 200 grants are made towards equipment such as powered wheelchairs, electric beds and specially adapted computers - equipment that empowers people with muscle disease to be able to do more for themselves and together as a family. "
The application is available for download on the web page below.
