Fletchers Foundation

Fletchers Foundation champions dignity, empowerment, inclusivity, and practical compassion to enable people to thrive after life-changing injuries or illnesses when legal remedies are unavailable. Rooted in addressing gaps left by statutory and compensation systems, their mission empowers recovery and independence through targeted financial grants for individuals, families, community groups, charities, and schools supporting trauma survivors. They prioritize needs-led, person-centred interventions fostering practical outcomes like enhanced daily functioning, social inclusion, and community participation, partnering with grassroots organizations to deliver bespoke, life-enhancing support via trauma-informed, holistic approaches.

They fund recovery-focused interventions for people of all ages across the UK with acquired physical disabilities, cognitive behavioural needs, or complex health needs from serious accidents, clinical negligence, or sudden illnesses, including families and carers facing long-term impacts. Supported activities encompass mobility aids and wheelchairs, home and vehicle adaptations, physiotherapy and neurorehabilitation, psychological therapies and mental health counselling, specialised exercise technology, respite care and breaks, educational inclusion programs and SEND activities, social inclusion initiatives like after-school clubs and peer support groups, therapeutic activities for emotional regulation, and adaptive equipment promoting independence. They target barriers to community integration, quality of life, and participation, backing community-led services such as day services, outreach, and inclusive sports or creative arts for disability recovery, while emphasizing preventative support to avert isolation and sustain family resilience.

They exclude those eligible for legal compensation or statutory provisions, focusing exclusively on unmet needs outside conventional channels, avoiding core funding or general infrastructure. Distinctive for its personal injury law expertise blended with community partnership, the Foundation prioritizes trauma survivors from diverse backgrounds in rural and urban settings, favouring grassroots charities and schools delivering evidence-based, personalized solutions for sudden-onset disabilities, with a niche on practical rehabilitation over broad welfare, ensuring equitable access to independence for the uncompensated.
