Hi Angela, I’m very pleased to hear that your young daughter has her wheelchair. However I can’t really help with a rain cover as we deal with the funding of wheelchairs and not directly with suppliers or manufacturers. I can only suggest you contact the manufacturer with the issue.
Sorry I can’t be much help.
Good Luck.

hi i have a 2 year old daughter with a terminal illness, she has just had a wheelchair delivered, i am having real problems getting any sort off rain cover. As you can imagine i am always at the hospital, but the wheelchair is not going to do her any good if she cant use it in the winter

Hi Claire,
We provide grants to organisations such as Newlife and Whizz-Kidz. We don’t make grants directly to individuals at the moment. So it’s best to go through an established provider. I hope this helps.

Grace,
Priority works with several organisations to fund these trikes and other mobility equipment. Why not try applying to Whizz-Kidz, Newlife foundation, Action for Kids or Caudwell Children?

I am really looking for information. I have a disabled grandson who is 5 but has the mental capacity of an 18 to 24 month old. He is a tall boy and he likes to do the same things as my other grandsons, such as riding a bike. He suffers from a brain disorder (which I am unsure of the exact medical term) and two of the many effects of this condition are epylepsy and autism. He is a lovely child and I would like to know where I could get information regarding a grant to get him a trike. I see disabled people that live near to me riding on these trikes and think that it would be a wonderful thing for him to have. He has problems with his mobility but has learned to work despite his disabilities.
