Newlife the Charity for Disabled Children

02/11/2026

Our Equipment Grants application window is now open!
Before applying, we encourage families to speak with one of our nurses, who can talk through your child’s needs, explore the support available and help you understand whether an equipment grant may be right for your family.

Equipment grants can pay for equipment, including wheelchairs, buggies, car seats, and beds, helping help disabled children find joy and independence.

You've still got time to claim your free will Newlife! 🖊

Leaving a gift in your Will to Newlife ensures we can continue in our life-changing work supporting disabled children and their families to get the equipment, support and opportunities they need.

We have teamed up with the online Wills specialist Octopus Legacy, to offer a free Will writing service to all our supporters.

In three simple steps you can write your Will and complete it online, over the phone, via video call or in person. Their service is quick, easy to use and checked by their in-house legal team. There is no obligation to leave us a gift in your Will, but every donation is gratefully received.

✨ Can you give the gift of time this festive season?
We’re looking to grow our community of volunteers to help us through the festive period in our retail stores.
Whether you can give a few hours or more, no matter your skillset your time can make a real difference and your help will enable us to provide expert support, specialist equipment and opportunities to play for disabled children and their families.

Give your time. Make a difference. Join our volunteer community.

Our next funding application window is due to open on the 2nd of November.
Before applying, we encourage all families to book an appointment with one of our nurses. They can help you explore the support available, discuss your child’s needs, and ensure you have the information you need before submitting an application.
If there are other services or organisations that may be able to help, our nurses will be happy to talk through these options with you as well.

Book in a call today, link in the comments.

No child should be left waiting for essential disability equipment.
On Tuesday, we were in Parliament campaigning for change.
Alongside Whizz Kidz and the British Healthcare Trades Association (BHTA), we're sharing families' experiences and challenging the delays, inequalities and fragmented services that prevent disabled children getting the equipment they need.
As SEND reform and changes to the NHS move forward, it's vital that disabled children and their families aren't left behind.
At Newlife, we know that campaigning matters. Families deserve better, and we're determined to make their voices heard.
