Aids for Disabled People - Application Form


The Headley Trust administers a small grants programme which provides funding for practical aids for disabled people aged 16 and above. Grants are considered up to £2,500 to help disabled people purchase equipment which will help increase their mobility.


Applications can only be made by completing this form. Each applicant must be referred by a third party such as a registered charity, medical professional, social care worker or Citizens Advice Bureau. The referrer must specifically endorse the item(s) requested. Any professional assessments, supporting statements/letters, quotations are welcome. The application must be signed by the applicant (or carer on their behalf), the referring person and a senior colleague of the referring person.


Applications can be for, but not limited to, the following: specially adapted computer systems; communication aids, wheelchairs, electric scooters; and stair-lifts. Other items, recommended by a medical professional or social care worker, may be considered at the Trustees’ discretion, and are subject to the Conditions of the Award. In most cases, any grant award will be for no more than half the total cost of the equipment and will be released via the referring organisation when funds to meet the total cost have been raised. Grants will be available for one year from the date of approval.
