Key Terms

Mobility: A person’s ability to move around safely and comfortably, including walking, using a wheelchair, or travelling independently.

Grant: Money given to help a person or group pay for something important, usually without needing to pay it back.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is a mobility charity?

A mobility charity supports disabled people with movement and access needs. This can include funding equipment, sharing advice, and helping people find services that make daily life easier.

What is the difference between a grant and a benefit?

A grant is usually a one-off payment from a charity to help with a specific cost, like equipment or travel. A benefit is money provided by the government to support living costs or disability needs.

Why does accessibility matter for disabled people?

Accessibility matters because it removes barriers. Ramps, step-free entrances, clear information, and suitable transport help disabled people take part in everyday activities more independently.
