The Action Group is about
‘no barriers – for all of life.’
We could use lots of fancy words to sum us up, but really it comes down to you, your family and us, working together to get the right support for you, that changes as you change and keeps putting you right at the centre of all that we do.

Specialist equipment funding available for disabled children and young people!We want to help you! 🙌🏻
We’re urging parents or guardians across the UK to get in contact with us to apply for specialist equipment funding! 💫
The funding is available for disabled children and young people up to the age of 19. We’ve accessed funding from a number of grant bodies and trusts that will enable us to supply 70%-80% of the cost of the equipment, including powered wheelchairs, buggies, rain covers, therapy tricycles, specialist car seats, car harnesses and multi-sensory equipment.
What’s not to love?!? 💜
With powerchairs costing over £20,000, tricycles up to £2,000, and sensory equipment costing upwards of £1,500 or more, the support could be the difference between children getting the equipment they need! 👏🏻
We want to hear from families across the UK whose gross household income is less than £45,000, excluding benefits. It’s a two stage application process and you can apply online or you can request an application form to be sent to you in the post. Once the supporting documents are returned decisions on application are usually made between 4-6 weeks.
Also if families cannot cover the rest of the balance we can point you in the direction of other agencies or charities who may support you with the rest!
To apply ring 0345 300 1348 or email: charity@caudwellchildren.com

This is a terrible statistic. If you are in work, live in #Edinburgh and have a disability or long term health condition and need some support, contact our Real Jobs team (part of @AllinEdinburgh) and we can support you to keep or change your job. #Equality
Our research has found that over seven in ten #disabled adults in #Scotland have stopped working because of #disability.
