A Gentle Guide to Funding Your Home Adaptations

By Hackit Design Team

Disabled Facilities Grants, charitable funds and our partner Lightning Reach — what's available and where to start.

You may not need to pay for everything yourself

Funding home adaptations can feel like a maze. Here are the main routes, in plain English.

Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG)

A council grant of up to £30,000 in England for essential adaptations like ramps, stairlifts and accessible bathrooms. It's means-tested for adults, but not for children.

Charitable grants

Many charities offer smaller grants for equipment and sensory items. Our partner Lightning Reach matches you with grants you're eligible for through one simple profile — visit lightningreach.org to learn more.

Where Hackit fits in

Our assessment report can support your funding applications by clearly evidencing what your home needs and why.
