Most of our Chunc customers utilise funding
to purchase their chair

There are a number of funding routes open to you, starting with the NHS Personal Wheelchair Budget – this is a legal right if you meet the eligibility criteria. There are also many charities which offer grant support, as well as those which will fundraise for or with you.
