Detailed examples
In 2015 we sourced and funded the purchase of a cargo bike for £1,709.00 to enable Ethan to easily travel around Cambridge with his siblings.
In 2011 we made a grant of just over £2,000 for the purchase of a replacement "buggy" for a person with a long-term neurological condition who has been a sponsored member of the Trust for some 20 years.
In 2009 the Trust, in collaboration with another Charity, helped provide a special electric wheelchair for one of our sponsored members who suffers from cerebral palsy.
 |
 |
Also in 2009 a grant of £2,800 was made to provision and fit specialist carpet / flooring, suitable for wheelchair use, in a new underfloor heated bungalow into which one of our sponsored members was moving.

In 2008 Cherryhomes purchased a seating block and writing frame for a 9-year-old boy who was recovering from a brain tumour and has acquired brain injury following surgery. An application was made on behalf of the boy from the Special Needs Coordinator at his Middle School and was financed by the Trust. This is one of the smaller ways the Trust can help disabled people. The frame and wedge cost £50.

In 2005, the Trust provided a grant of just over £6,500 to fund the basic conversion of the vehicle below to enable wheelchair access and thus to allow the couple to regain a measure of independence and to enjoy being able to go out together again.
