Exercise

 

British Transplant Games

The Transplant Games aim to demonstrate the benefits of transplantation, encouraging transplant patients to regain fitness, whilst increasing public awareness of the need for more people to join the NHS Organ Donation Register and discuss their wishes with their families. They also seek to thank and celebrate donor families and the gift of life.

 

Disabled Facilities Grants

You could get a grant from your council if you’re disabled and need to make changes to your home, for example to:

  • widen doors and install ramps
  • improve access to rooms and facilities - e.g. stair lifts or a downstairs bathroom
  • provide a heating system suitable for your needs
  • adapt heating or lighting controls to make them easier to use

 

Mobility Aids

The British Red Cross provides over 58,000 wheelchairs to people across the UK every year. The British Red Cross can offer wheelchair hire with wheelchair accessories and 12-week servicing, for up to 20 weeks. If you are unable to afford the cost further assistance may be available.
