How your fundraising can help
Here's a Scope shopping list illustrating how different amounts of money can help us support disabled people.
- £4.50 will buy an adapted can opener to make it easier to prepare meals independently
- £36 could enable a response worker to support a family for one month
- £60 will buy a single chin switch so that a person with little or no hand control can operate equipment such as an electric wheelchair or computer
- £120 could help provide remote control equipment, which would adjust the height of worktops, sinks and cookers to allow them to be used by disabled people who use wheelchairs
- £199 buys a head-operated mouse, to allow access to a computer
- £700 is around one day's cost for Scope Response
- £3,000 could buy a specialist bed, allowing carers to assist a person in and out of bed, and for the person to be more independent
