There are a number of other initiatives to assist disabled people in their transition to able-bodied individuals; including
- Renovation Grants
- Disability Facility Grants
- Home Improvement Trust / Agency
- Staying Put / Care & Repair Agency
- New Home Energy Efficiency Scheme
The above schemes are available throughout the UK and are consequently demand driven.

Accesable Advice can procure and manage the complete cycle on behalf of those individuals who ultimately qualify.
