£450 could cover the cost of 50 phone calls to the Scope helpline, providing free, independent and impartial advice and support on issues that matter to disabled people and their families.

£1,000 could support a disabled person through one of our employment programmes to gain the confidence and skills needed to find work.

£2,059 could cover the cost of running Sleep Right for one month, supporting disabled children get the sleep they need.
