Fascinating Fact:

The charity’s work includes making grants to individuals and organisations. It also provides advice and information, and supports research linked to disability and mobility.

In Specialist Charities, Motability is explored as an example of how a charity can improve everyday life through practical support. This topic looks at mobility needs, access to equipment or services, and how grants and advice can help people stay independent at home, school, or work.

Key Terms

  • Mobility: A person’s ability to move around safely and comfortably, including walking, using a wheelchair, or travelling independently.
  • Accessibility: Making places, services, and information easier to use for everyone, including people with disabilities.
  • 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.
