Physiotherapy, pain management programmes and specialist appointments when the NHS wait is too long.
A UK charity for people living with pain
Help to get beyond pain and back to living
Real Support. Brighter Futures.
When pain or a disability gets in the way of work and everyday life, waiting months for help isn't an option. We fund specialist treatment, ergonomic equipment and a safer home for people who can't afford it themselves.
What we fund
Practical help that makes a real difference
We pay for the things that help you manage pain, stay independent and work safely. Each award is based on your situation and the funds we have that month.
Ergonomic equipment
Supportive chairs, sit-stand desks and specialist aids so you can work and live with less pain.
A safer home
Grab rails, bathing aids and small adaptations that make home safer and everyday tasks easier.
Essential support
Other urgent costs linked to your condition that stand between you and a better quality of life.
