Who we’ve been helping...
Children who are disabled are enabled through equipment. Our Equipment Grants answer that need. Our Fast Track Grants Scheme can make a same day decision in some cases. Since the start of our Equipment Grant Service Newlife has helped 3,409 children across the UK to the value of £4,962,850.15. Today we have 196 children who need £376,030.22 to help them, but sadly no funds to make the grants. Three-year-old Eddie Holmes from Staffordshire is Autistic and needed sensory equipment costing £728.38. Newlife provided this but there are other children who need help:
Newlife’s Latest Celebrity…Have you heard about Newlife’s new celebrity blogger? Introducing Ted - a teddy bear on a mission to help get the equipment that disabled children need.

Mayor of Elmbridge Councillor James Vickers raised £90,000 for Newlife during his year of office. The Mayor adopted Newlife as his charity of the year encouraging residents and businesses to take part in fundraising. He says: “The Mayoral Appeal has gone very well as my aim was to create awareness of Newlife and how people can help the charity.” Newlife CEO Sheila Brown says: “We have been overwhelmed with support from the Mayor of Elmbridge and the people of Elmbridge which has been truly outstanding.” WightOut Challenge...
Oli Mansfield and his team of athletes from Bucks plan to walk, run, cycle and kayak to raise £40,000 for Newlife.The Wight Out Challenge will take the team from High Wycombe to the Isle of Wight in a 240 mile non-stop trek for disabled children.For eight years Oliver has worked tirelessly for the charity and this will mark his fifth and final challenge. He says: “I have raised funds for other charities before, and once I’d paid the money into the bank for them, all I had to show for it was a bank stub and I didn’t know where the money was going. When I heard about Newlife I fell in love with the charity as the money raised goes to the right places. You can see how the equipment makes a difference to children and their families and it’s so terrible to know that there are children suffering in pain for the sake of equipment that can easily be purchased. We are trying to change this by taking part in this challenge. Oliver and his team have also created a naughty naked calendar to help boost their fundraising target. (along the lines of the Calendar Girls) For further details about WightOut or to Buy the Naughty Calendar (£10) see E-Mail: calendar@wightout.co.uk Twitter: twitter.com/wightout2010 Fundraising Champions...
Here at Newlife there are some people that never fail to amaze us with the way they keep raising money for disabled children. They’ve performed cycle rides, wheelchair marathons, donated monetary gifts from their wedding and held jewellery sales. So we’d like to say a massive ‘thank you’ to our fundraising champions and for those of you that are still thinking about raising funds for us...be inspired. *Doug & Hannah Armstrong Click here to fundraise for Newlife
