We frequently receive requests for funding for a range of items and services where the average cost falls within certain price ranges. We have used this information to create a Price Guide.
To make it easier to apply, if the cost of the item or service you would like funding for is within the price guide, or close to it, you do not need to provide us with a quote. This will help us process these requests more quickly.
The cost of items in our price guide should enable people to purchase good quality, normally mid-range items and services that allow the applicant to achieve their desired goals. This approach also enables us to assist as many young people as possible in a fair and consistent way.
It is, however, only a guide. We assess all requests on an individual basis, and you can apply for things in this guide at a higher cost if needed but you must include a quote and, in addition, explain why you need these items or services to meet your goals.
We do not wish to limit a young person’s ambition or creativity around the goals they want to achieve so you can apply for things that do not feature in this guide, but you must submit a quote with your application.
You may, in addition to the more general items in the price guide, have requirements for specific items related to your disability and we are more than happy to discuss these with you.
