Six children in the West Midlands are hoping that Santa will bring them some very special presents this year. They are waiting for grants for specialised equipment to help them manage their disability and lead a happier life. Could you help us give these children the best Christmas present ever?

    Situation

    Often children and young people with disabilities remain excluded from a lifestyle which other people may take for granted. They want to join in and take part in the same sorts of activities, within their capabilities, as other children. They want to gain more independence from their parents as they get older, but are often prevented from doing so.

    Solution

    We believe the provision of specialised equipment has a direct and immediate impact on a child's quality of life and independence, and is vital in helping them to overcome obstacles and achieve their potential. Equipment can include wheelchairs, walking frames, tricycles and other mobility aids, as well as communication aids, multi-sensory equipment and other information technology.
