Lisa’s Story

Mobility Scooter

Lisa is a single mum living with her young son. Due to ongoing mobility issues and chronic pain, she had been relying on crutches and found it increasingly difficult to get around. Simple activities like going to the shops or spending time outdoors with her son had become exhausting and often impossible. Through our Individual Grant Programme, Lisa received funding for a mobility scooter and was also supported in applying for the grant and connecting with the local Independent Living Centre. There, she was introduced to new equipment options, including a wheeled walker, which has already made a difference in managing her pain day to day.

“The scooter arrived on Friday and in just four days, it’s changed everything. I can do more of the things I enjoy and, most importantly, I can do more with my son. Thank you, not just for the scooter, but for the support, the help with the forms, and for putting me in touch with people who helped me see new options.”
