Situation
Around 11% of children and young people aged 0-24 in the UK have disabilities that might affect their mobility and can limit quality time spent with friends and family. The right mobility equipment is vital to ensure children and young people with disabilities are included in society and can live independent lives. It’s estimated to cost three times more to raise a disabled child. As the cost-of-living crisis continues, self-funding the purchase of this life-changing equipment is rarely possible
Solution
AFK fully funds mobility equipment for children and young people with disabilities and our expert team works with families to ensure they receive the best, most cost-effective equipment for their needs. We’re also one of the only charities to cover the cost of maintenance and repairs, which can save vital funds in the long term but most importantly ensure that our children and young people always have a fully functioning mobility aid that meets their needs.
