What we provide

Funding for the help that makes the biggest difference

We fund four kinds of help. Every award is tailored to the person applying, based on their needs, how urgent they are and the funds we have that month.

Treatment

When treatment isn't available on the NHS, or the waiting time means you would be in pain for months, we can pay for it privately with a registered practitioner.

For example

  • Physiotherapy
  • Osteopathy and chiropractic
  • Hydrotherapy
  • Pain management programmes
  • Specialist consultations
  • Occupational therapy assessments

Ergonomic and specialist equipment

The right equipment can reduce pain every single day and help you keep working. We can buy equipment for use at home or at work.

For example

  • Ergonomic chairs
  • Sit-stand desks
  • Keyboards and mice
  • Supportive seating and cushions
  • TENS machines
  • Mobility aids

A safer home

A home that isn't safe or suitable can make pain worse and put you at risk. We can help with equipment and small adaptations when you can't wait for other help.

For example

  • Grab rails
  • Bathing and shower aids
  • Raised toilet seats
  • Stair and step aids
  • Supportive beds and mattresses

Essential support

Sometimes the thing that would make the biggest difference doesn't fit neatly into a category. If you are in a really difficult situation because of your condition, tell us what would help.

For example

  • Travel to specialist treatment
  • Assessments needed to access other support
  • Urgent costs that stop you working safely
