The Foundation provides funding which enables disabled persons to stay living in their own homes and not at an institution. These include personal assistance, out-patient hospice care, emergency assistance, wheelchair-accessible transportation and contributions to caregivers towards respite care, therapy etc.

I’ve been struggling with mental issues,  and I have a Disability certificate of the  2nd type. Now, since my own life has  become reasonably organised, I found out  that I could work as a peer consultant,  helping people with similar problems.  I needed a training course, the cost  of which I wasn’t able to pay. Thanks  to the Social Foundation help I could  complete the training, do meaningful  work and gain a little income.
