Charity Funding

Finding Financial Support

There are a number of charities and grants that may be available to help you fund a Series 5 electric wheelchair. 

Grants are given to people based on their personal circumstances, so it’s important to do some research to find out options that might work for you.

This could be benevolent funds from your employer, support from local charities or disability organisations, or grants from trusts set up to help people with specific medical conditions or financial situations.

While we cannot guarantee you’ll get any specific grant or charity, we’ve put together this guide to help you research options that might be available to you.

Find charity funding for electric wheelchairs

Researching and finding charity funding for electric wheelchairs can take a lot of time and effort, so using online grant search tools is a good place to start.

Turn2Us is a national charity providing practical information and support to end financial insecurity. Their website has a grants search tool to find out what help you can get.

It’s simple and easy to use – take a few minutes to run through their anonymous questionnaire, they’ll match your information to eligible grants and you can choose to do some further research and apply.

National and local disability charities

Some of our customers have accessed charity funds to purchase their Series 5 electric wheelchair, from SMAUK to Help for Heroes.

Many charities will help you research and may be able to point you towards smaller funds or community groups. Condition specific charities can be particularly helpful too, as they understand the importance of specialist equipment.

Electric wheelchair funding for children

The Series 5 can be used by children, thanks to our design that allows us to easily integrate custom seating that can provide support and stability as they grow.

If you’re looking for funding for a child’s electric wheelchair, there are many options available to specifically support young people. Many charities offer support when equipment isn’t available through the NHS or when families need something more specialised.

National charities like Whizz-Kidz and Newlife Foundation for Disabled Children are a good place to start, as they provide grants towards electric wheelchair, depending on eligibility.

Yes, many charities will help fund the cost and are able to ensure that covers custom seating or other adaptions that are essential for comfort, posture and daily use. It’s important to do your research and make sure you are aware of all the options that may be available to you.

Eligibility can depend on things like age, disability or medical condition, household income and even employment status. Using online search tools, speaking to charities and visiting online forums or social media groups can help you to get advice and the information you need. Of course, our team are more than happy to help you through the process too.

This is different for every charity or fund, but typically they’ll require details about your medical condition or disability, needs and why a Series 5 electric wheelchair is required. You may also need other things such as proof of income, supporting evidence from a healthcare professional and quotes for the equipment you need.
