We are very proud to have changed the lives of many children and young people with disabilities and autism for the better and we would like to thank you for your generous support. I am delighted to provide an update on our project.
Mobility Equipment Service
Last year we supported 149 disabled children and young people around the UK with the provision and maintenance of specialist mobility equipment and we are currently experiencing an unprecedented number of applications.
Lacey’s Story
Lacey is 10 and has a diagnosis of autism, plus epilepsy, ADHD, depression and lower limb hypermobility and weakness. Her family contacted us because Lacey was getting sad and embarrassed at school and with her friends because she couldn’t keep up in PE, in the playground or on outdoor activities. Lacey’s physiotherapist recommended a special Theraplay trike as it would allow her to strengthen her core and legs plus join in with others. AFK funded the trike and when it arrived Lacey pedalled up and down the street - she was so proud and excited and her goal is to get her cycling badge at scouts. Mum told us Lacey’s world has opened up and her self-esteem has improved immensely.
