Equipment Grants Service

Funding For Vital Specialist Equipment

Newlife provides a range of essential specialist equipment including beds, buggies, wheelchairs and car seats. Our equipment grants can improve a child’s health and quality of life, reduce risk of significant injury and pain, as well as support delivery of care – while enabling childhood experiences and encouraging independence.

Newlife provides a range of specialist equipment up to the value of £10,000 for disabled and terminally ill children, and will look to part fund the equipment if above this limit.

Please note, you MUST meet the eligibility criteria below in order to be considered for an equipment grant and the process may take up to several months to complete depending on demand.
