does anyone know of any charities who could help with the downpayment needed for a motability car? Also we too are still waiting for an OT to visit to do an assessment for a downstairs wetroom for our daughter ... seems endless waiting! She is 11 and has cerebellar hypoplasia, severe learning difficulties/global developmental delay and autistic traits. We also have two younger daughters, hence the need for a large car with 3 rows of seats!
