    Situation

    Often children and young people with disabilities remain excluded from a lifestyle which other people take for granted. They want to join in and want to take part in the same sorts of activities, within their capabilities, as other children. They want to gain independence from their parents as they get older, but are prevented from doing so. Many people assume… that a child or young person with a disability would automatically get the equipment they need. Sadly, this is not the case.

    Solution

    Children Today raise funds to provide this equipment for children and young people with disabilities throughout the UK. Specialist equipment and aids enable them to experience these everyday things that we take for granted, often for the first time in their lives. Whether it’s a walking frame to help them to take their first steps outside or a powered wheelchair enabling them to join their family on a walk, it can literally change their life overnight. With your help we can achieve this.
