The WPH Charitable Trust is now open for applications.

Details

• Individuals
  • The WPH Charitable Trust, a Health Care Charity, consider all types of applications for Medical and Health Care Funding from and for individuals of any age who live in Coventry and Warwickshire area.
  • The WPH Charity recognises that the impact of long term disability and chronic illness on the individual and the family may not be just physical but also have very significant psychological and financial knock-on effects.
  • Medical funding therefore considers applications for medical support, healthcare needs, helping individuals to live with disability and chronic illness as well as provide rehabilitation and respite for the individual, family or carer.
    • Types
      • Disabled Funding: The WPH Charitable Trust provides disabled funding for children across the whole of Coventry and Warwickshire and provides financial support for a wide variety of areas to help care for those with disabilities.
      • Special Needs Funding: The WPH Charitable Trust has provided funding for a wide range of needs in order to help both children and adults with special needs.
      • Rehabilitation Funding: The WPH Charitable Trust funds a wide range of applications made to support and encourage rehabilitation. This may be needed on a short or longer term basis and funding of Home Care when other resources have been unable to help.
• Organizations
  • The WPH Charitable Trust provides funds for Healthcare Charities, Hospices and providers of Respite Care; to help the direct needs of the organisations or those of their providers.
  • The trust will also fund individuals in need of particular Healthcare, Hospice treatment or Respite Care. More specifically the Trust will provide such disabled funding for adults and children.
    • Types
      • Charities: The Trust will fund directly Charities based in Coventry and Warwickshire that provide Healthcare for adults and children living there.
      • Hospices: Increasing numbers of individuals in Coventry and Warwickshire are treated for and live with cancer. The Trust does support Cancer Research Funding but also supports the local hospices and the services they provide to both in-patients and out-patients.
      • Respite Care: Generally increased life expectancy means that more people are living into old age with chronic and debilitating diseases including dementia. The healthcare of these people puts a tremendous strain on healthcare funding and resources in financial terms and also in emotional terms for their families and providers. Similarly the care of disabled children and young adults strains financial and emotional resources for healthcare providers, parents and carers of these young people. Respite care gives a break to the suffering individual, their families and carers.
