About Your Opportunity

Your Opportunity is a dedicated grant programme which aims to enhance the life of disabled, or seriously ill, young adults, aged 18 to 24 years old, living at home. Young people cannot apply on their own but applications should come from parents or carers.

Funding for Your Opportunity is limited and applications are accepted from families on a first-come, first-served basis, until funding is fully allocated.

Who can apply?

You can apply for your young adult if you can say yes to all the following:

• you are the main parent, or carer, of a disabled or seriously ill young adult aged 18 to 24, who lives at home with you
• you have not received a Your Opportunity grant, on behalf of this young adult, in the past 12 months
• you have lived in the UK for the last six months
• you are a family on a low income from work, or benefits such as Universal Credit, Working Tax Credit, Child Tax Credit etc.

Your Opportunity cannot consider:

• requests for a family break or a holiday (but day trips can be considered)
• requests for standard or electric wheelchairs (as these should be provided by statutory services)
• any equipment that should be provided under statutory provision through local, education or health authorities.
