The Victoria Foundation transforming lives

"Thank you so much for your generosity which has led to a grant for a new wheelchair for our daughter, Dylan. This is a lightweight wheelchair, half the weight of her current chair, but still able to accommodate the various supports that Dylan needs to keep her secure and promote a position that will not exacerbate her scoliosis.....  As a girl with Rett Syndrome, Dylan faces plenty of challenges but this grant will make a huge difference to her life."

The Victoria Foundation has funded eight accessible mini-buses for RaKAT which help to ensure the elderly in the boroughs of Richmond and Kingston boroughs are not isolated at home. The cost of a fully accessible 15 seat minibus is over £64,000.

'On behalf of Crossroads Care Richmond and Kingston upon Thames, we would like to forward our utmost thanks and gratitude for your most generous donation of £16,895 which we have now received .... Your support helps us continue in our mission to provide vital services to those often hard to reach families and Carers – often outside the statutory framework. More recently, those most affected by COVID-19 – those socially isolated, most vulnerable, at-risk, and financially affected.'
