Skiggle is a UK-based disability charity that supports individuals, families and carers through a unique community network. Rather than offering traditional grants, Skiggle focuses on urgent support, shared resources, and access to essential equipment when it’s needed most.

Who This Charity Is For

Skiggle may be suitable if you are:

  • A parent or carer of a disabled child

  • An adult living with a disability

  • In urgent need of care equipment or consumables

  • Struggling to access items quickly through traditional routes

Can Skiggle Fund a Trike?

No, Skiggle does not provide grants or funding for large equipment like trikes.

However, it can still play a role in your journey:

  • Access to smaller disability equipment

  • Community support and advice

  • Potential to source second-hand items

  • Emergency help if something is missing or breaks

Skiggle is best used as a support network alongside other funding routes, rather than a primary funding source.

What Support Do They Offer?

Peer Support Network

Families and carers can connect, share advice, and support each other through the Skiggle community.

“Just signed up, it’s good to know that if we need an emergency mini button, pads, syringes etc I can call on parents/carers in the same situation”

“Amazing site! I had an error on my sons feed pipe and no spare. Within an hour of signing up to skiggle I had been given some, by a kind lady who lived in the area I was visiting. Highly recommend and will look forward to passing the kindness on in the future.”
