Grants for an adapted bike?

CharlA

Hi all we was lucky enough today to have my niece assesessed for an adapted tricycle which she was able to ride, my niece is 3 yrs old and has cerebral palsy which has left her unable to stand or walk but to see her riiding the bike brought a tear to my eye, we was told the bike cost just over a thousnd pounds and was wondering if anyone knew of any charities that could help towards the cost we arent asking for the full amount but just a donation towards the cost of the bike any help would be much appreciated thank you in advance to anyone that can help

You could try Cerebra or BDF Newlife. I have no dealings with the grant section of Cerebra but Newlife funded my DD's specialist highchair and they are very friendly people to deal with. I think you can download application forms from both of their websites.

Do you know anyone who is a member of Rotary Club, or Lions? Often they will offer funds for things like this, or do a special fund-raiser for you.

Hello,

I would recommend you contact Caudwell Children.
http://www.caudwellchildren.com

Mobility equipment for children is the type of application that they support.
There is also The Family Fund.
http://familyfund.org.uk

I would apply to the former first, and leave the family fund for something else.

Good Luck,

Munchie

Whizzkidz also provide trikes
