We’ve launched our Sunrise Moments Community Fund to help break down the financial and practical barriers that can prevent people living with mobility challenges from fully participating in their communities.
Sunrise Moments Community Fund will support projects, opportunities and improvements that make community spaces and experiences more accessible, helping to create more wheelchair-friendly and inclusive environments while enabling more people to take part in the things that matter to them.
This could include funding accessible accommodation for a dream family trip to Disneyland, make a belated honeymoon possible, or travel adaptations and support that enables someone to finally see the Northern Lights.
For others, it might mean support for a supervised beach visit using specialist mobility equipment, or the opportunity to make their way down the aisle on their wedding day with the help of a standing wheelchair.
Whatever the ambition, the initiative aims to provide practical support for people with mobility issues to take part in experiences, activities and milestones that matter to them.
Lucy Evans, Head of Marketing at Sunrise Medical, said: “We’re always looking for new ways to support the incredible communities around us.
“We know that the right support can help remove barriers and create more opportunities for people to take part in the moments and experiences that matter the most to them. Sometimes it’s about accessing equipment or assistance that helps someone do something they’ve always wanted to do, while other times it’s about creating opportunities that build independence, confidence and enjoyment.
“We’re encouraging people to share their stories with us and tell us what experience, opportunity or support would make the biggest difference to them. We want this fund to have a genuine and lasting impact on the lives of people with mobility issues.
“Whether it’s supporting a special family trip, celebrating a milestone occasion, or helping someone do something they’ve wanted to do for a long time, we’re looking forward to supporting as many people as possible across the UK".
The Community Fund is now open for applications and will close at midnight on 30th September 2026.
