The grants we award each year are only possible through the income we receive from our investments, donations, grants and legacies, the proceeds from events, and being beneficiary charity of the year. We would like to say a special thank The Richmond Charities for its annual support.

I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for your incredibly kind support in funding a wheelchair for Mary.   Before the chair arrived, it was almost impossible to take her out anywhere...

Specialist mobility aids transforming lives

  • The support we have had from the Victoria Foundation to date has had a transformatory effect on many of the young people who attend Bedelsford school. We have seen increased mobility and increased confidence for many of our pupils after using the Large Innowalk Pro which was very generously funded by the Victoria Foundation earlier this year. We are currently raising funds for a new school minibus which will require specialist adaptations in order to ensure pupils can safely access the local community and be more fully included in the world that they live in. Thanks to the support from the Victoria Foundation these aspirations can be made real and help ensure that Bedelsford pupils can reach their full potential!

  • ‘I have received the pushchair. This is so amazing. I can now go out on outings safely with Tom. I have two older children, and we were very restricted to where we could go due to a normal pushchair not being safe enough for Tom. Now my older children can also enjoy days out and great adventures are ahead of us. This pushchair has changed everything for not just Tom but our family. Thank you so much...’

  • I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for your incredibly kind support in funding a wheelchair for Mary. Before the chair arrived, it was almost impossible to take her out anywhere. Even a short walk down the road was difficult - she's very unsteady on her feet and prone to frequent falls. Mum had injured her back from lifting and supporting Mary constantly, including helping her up and down stairs and in and out of the bath. It was a daily struggle. When the chair arrived, Mum was tearful and overwhelmed with joy. Mary was all smiles - she absolutely loved the design and the fact that it wasn't too bulky. It felt just right for her. That very weekend, Mum used it to take Mary to the supermarket. It may not sound like the most exciting destination, but it was an adventure for both of them - possibly the first truly independent journey they'd had in years. The chair has already been used for family visits and medical appointments, and we hope to use it for day trips very soon. It has given us a real sense of freedom and opened up so many possibilities. Thank you again for making such a big difference in Mary's life.
