Newlife is the UK's largest charity funder of children's specialist disability equipment. We also run the UKs only national emergency equipment service for terminally ill children.
For 25 years Newlife has been changing the lives and experiences of disabled children, supporting their families through the joys, challenges, and sadness - working to improve child health and changing policies that affect children and families across the UK.
We can help more children, we are passionate to help them, but we can’t do it alone. We need your support. You could be the hand that reaches out and really changes a very special child’s life.
Newlife provides grants for essential equipment such as pain relieving beds, wheelchairs, communication aids, and much more. We have funded over £6 million pounds worth of equipment grants helping children across the UK, making a real difference to the lives of children and their families.
Our Newlife Nurses man a national Helpline which supports and informs families, whether they have just been told of their child’s disability or need help accessing local services. The Newlife Nurse Helpline is free, confidential and trusted.
We offer the free loan of essential equipment. Normally delivered within 72 hours, this suite of relevant equipment such as beds, wheelchairs, hoists etc are made available, specifically to help terminally ill children who 'Just Can't Wait', hence the name of the service.
