Support Schemes for grants and funding 

11th October 2022

There are various schemes out to offer financial support to people living with cancer and long term neurological conditions. The amount of support they can offer varies. Some charities can help with day to day expenses and others may make a contribution towards particularly costs.  Exercise is a vital part of everyday life and so important when you are managing the effects of a long term health condition. There are various free exercise services out there however it is also always worth contacting a charity to find out if you could qualify for a grant to help you afford the service that you would like.
