Funding
It's not always easy to raise the funds needed for mobility equipment due to the high cost. There are a few different options available to help with funding your Omeo or Hoss depending on your specific circumstances:
Access To Work
ATW is a government-run scheme that assists people with what they need to carry out their work. They have agreed funding for a number of our customers.
Fundraising
Some of our customers have had crowdfunding set up for them by friends and family on platforms like GoFundMe or JustGiving.
These platforms take a small percentage of the funds raised. For example, GoFundMe charge a fee of 2.9% plus £0.25 per donation.
On the flip side, these platforms do allow you to reach a wide audience and manage your donations effectively.
Charities
Some charities offer help with the purchase of mobility equipment. Some are associated with a specific trade (e.g. Perennial for gardeners) and others for specific conditions (e.g. Aspire for spinal cord injury).
Aspire is a national charity providing assistance and support to people across the UK who have been paralysed by a spinal cord injury.
The charity is dedicated to equal opportunities and works towards a world where people with a spinal cord injury have an equal place in society. Aspire strongly believes people with disabilities should be free from physical obstacles, economic barriers and social prejudices.
