Family Fund Mobility Support aims to help families, raising a disabled or seriously ill child under three years old, to meet their mobility needs through a car-leasing package for a limited period.
Who can apply?
The scheme is open to families who have a child under three years old, where the parent, carer, or someone involved in the child’s care, has a valid full UK driving licence. There should be nobody else in the household already leasing a vehicle though the Motability scheme.
We can consider an application to Family Fund Mobility Support for families who are eligible for a Family Fund grant (read the criteria
here) and have a child who lives with one or more of the following:
- A need for substantial equipment due to their conditions or treatment (such as a mobility aid, oxygen or suction machine, bulky monitoring or medical equipment)
- An immune suppressing condition or treatment resulting in medical emergency and prohibits travelling on public transport
- High levels of pain or physical condition that impacts their mobility needs
- An unstable condition requiring frequent and unexpected emergency inpatient treatment
- A significant number of appointments on a frequent basis at multiple treatment centres.
Please note, the application process has two stages and completion of this initial enquiry application form will contribute to stage 1.
