Have you tried the variety club?
They are pretty good at funding items which other charities don't cover.
Good luck

I think the Safespace looks brilliant! Such a shame you can't get NHS funding for it. I wish you the very best for your fundraising

Tigsteroonie you are right, its a shame about funding from the nhs but we are getting there slowly but surely.

Adammum, this charity might be able to help you:

http://www.childrentoday.org.uk/

Their aim:
Children Today is the charity that raises funds to provide specialised equipment for children and young people with disabilities throughout the UK. Our aim is to ensure that every disabled child and young person fulfils their potential and leads an active childhood.
......

Many people assume that a child or young person with a disability would automatically receive the equipment they need. Sadly, this is not the case.

Many families are unable to get the help they need from local health authorities for major items related to their child’s disabilities such as specialised mobility equipment. This means that because of budget constraints or delays, many families have no alternative but to purchase the items themselves, if they can afford it.

This is where Children Today can help. We provide specialised equipment to improve, assist and enhance the lives of children and young people with disabilities.
[The above from the Children Today website].

Cerebra do grants for epilepsy I know a few folk who have had grants for epileptic children.

Family fund will also help though it tends to be only if he receives middle rate care DLA and above and they have income thresholds.

What area are you in? Cash for kids is a charity that some radio stations have and they are very good for help.

What about doing a facebook auction? They are very popular and one I took part in recently was very successful.

My youngest son's school went to the expense of getting him a slightly cheaper version of a safe space room for him to go to when things got too much...only for him to prefer the stock cupboard as he didn't like the feel/acoustics of the room within a room!

Thereafter, the cupboard became Jxx's cupboard....the room within a room didn't go to waste though, they have used it for other children with similar needs/difficulties.

Good luck OP, hope your fundrasing goes well.

Sorry to have taken so long to reply!

Our walk was a great success and we raised over £5000 for Adam specially adapted bedroom. He is loving every minute of it. He is sleeping better and we all play with him together without fear of him hurting himself. It is rather cosy and soft yet still very sturdy and strong.

Thanks for all the support and advice.
