Hi @Khuluwa21!
Welcome, sorry no idea about sponsorship.. Good you say more. Like what you are hoping to do study wise?
In terms of wheelchair, I assume from your picture that you have a wheelchair? What do you want to improve on? (love a good wheelchair chat me!)
My 3 routes of obtaining chairs were:
Loan off British red cross (temporarily)
NHS route - referred by gp, waited, got appointments, was assessed for needs, wheelchair built to my spec.... Lots of waiting.... Got great manual wheelchair
Motobility - we decided it was easier for us to get power chair thrpugh motobility, through higher level PIP mobility. I know most get car but we decided to adapt current car/ buy with loan from secondhand converted car dealer and get wheelchair through motobility as I wanted 's high cost chair. I adore it, has changed my life....
What about you, what do you need/want?
