Home Improvements

What does it do?

Disability grants
You may be eligible for help if you, or someone you live with, cannot use vital parts of your home because of a disability. Contact our Access Team to arrange a meeting with an occupational therapist. They will assess your needs and see if you need extra equipment.
The grant could help you:

  • install a stairlift
  • build ramps or widen doors
  • adapt your kitchen or bathroom

Disabled Facilities Grants cannot be paid for work already started or finished. We have produced a  guide to adapting your home to help with the process.

A  hospital discharge grant can be used to make minor repairs or adapt your home if needed.
