Portrait of Sam Mackley Ward

“The wheelchair I was able to buy with the money you gifted me allowed me freedom most of all; it let me go to places and do things on my own terms. I don’t feel trapped by my disability, I can go where I wish and be whoever I wish to be. Thank you.”

Sam Mackley Ward

The best way of explaining what the Scheme does and how we help disabled students is for you to meet some of the people who have benefited from our awards.

Through this short (5 minute) film, you can meet just three of the many hundreds of students we have helped.
