FUNDING TIMESCLAES AND UPDATES
As an organisation that receives no statutory funding, we are required to fundraise throughout the year to enable us to purchase equipment. We expect to purchase all equipment within 12 months of the equipment panels approval of an application. Unfortunately it is not possible for us to give specific timescales for application approvals and equipment purchase or delivery date.

Watch our video tutorials before or whilst completing your application form, or simply watch a specific video if you need more assistance on different sections of the application form.
Please be aware there have been changes to how we fund items. For information on funding items and additional support in completing an application, or any questions, please contact Bev our Family Coordinator. If you do not have the facilities to complete an electronic application form, please also contact Bev to request a hard copy to be posted out.
