Jack suffers from cerebral palsy, and as such he is restricted to a wheelchair.
His family had saved enough money to provide Jack with a new motorised chair, but this in turn caused problems.
The new equipment didn't fit with their existing car.
As a result, taking Jack to places he would like to go, and get the most out of, was proving a major problem for his mum, Catherine, who works at COI Communications.
On a more practical level, it made getting Jack to school much more difficult.
In order, therefore, for his new wheelchair to give him the fullest possible benefit, Catherine needed to find a new car.
And with their savings already exhausted, this was impossible unless they got some outside help.
Which is where the Fund came in.
We provided a grant to help cover the cost of a deposit for their new Motability vehicle. It's large enough to take Jack, his wheelchair, and the rest of the family, and that means he's much more mobile as a result.
