What Can I Fundraise For?

We help families to fund major operations both inside and outside the UK. This covers, but is not limited to, operations to help physical disabilities such as Cerebral Palsy and Spina Bifida, to specialist cancer treatments and operations that the NHS don’t fund.

Many of our families see huge benefits from making adaptations to their home to make it more accessible to their child’s needs. These adaptations include ramps, sensory rooms, therapy rooms, specialist baths, hoists, lifts and often things that a Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG) doesn’t cover. 

There are various types of therapy out there that children can benefit from whether it is physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, hydrotherapy, autism related therapies, animal assisted therapies, even if they are new therapies to Tree of Hope. Tree of Hope will not support therapies considered controversial or potentially life-threatening.

In an ever-changing world, we recognise how technologies continue to improve and provide support in all kinds of ways. We help families to fundraise for any item, piece of equipment, software, or product system that is used to increase, maintain, or improve a child’s functional capabilities.

Children often benefit from equipment and toys that provide auditory, visual and movement and touch stimulation and promote brain activity and motor skills and offer therapeutic benefits to a condition or a disability. 

We support any pieces of equipment required to make a child’s life easier, from wheelchairs, trikes, hydrotherapy pools and vehicle adaptions. If a piece of equipment is not directly medical related, we may ask that a health professional in your child’s care certifies to us that it will be beneficial for your child’s development.
