Sponsorships, Partnerships and Community Support

WheelieQueer is a Deaf, disabled and LGBTQ+ led organisation providing accessible disability benefits advice, advocacy, inclusion training and consultancy.

​

We believe that everyone deserves access to support that is inclusive, understanding and accessible, regardless of their financial circumstances.

​

Through sponsorships, community support and organisational partnerships, we aim to reduce financial barriers, strengthen our services and build a sustainable future for the communities we support.

​

We're always interested in connecting with businesses, organisations and individuals who share our values and want to make a positive difference.

​

Whether through financial contributions, donated resources, professional expertise or collaborative projects, there are many ways to get involved.

Why sponsorship matters

Providing accessible, specialist support requires time, resources and ongoing investment.

​

As a Deaf, disabled and LGBTQ+ led organisation, accessibility is central to how we work, not an optional extra. This includes accessible communication, specialist technology, appropriate resources and flexible ways of supporting people.

​

At the same time, we recognise that many disabled people face financial hardship and cannot always afford the support they need.

​

Sponsorships and partnerships help us:

  • Keep disability benefits advice and advocacy affordable

  • Provide reduced-cost support for people experiencing financial barriers

  • Build a contingency fund to manage unexpected costs and protect service continuity

  • Reduce operating costs through donated or discounted resources

  • Develop free, accessible information and educational materials

  • Invest in the long-term sustainability of our services

 

Our aim is to build a financially resilient organisation that can continue supporting people without unnecessarily passing increasing costs on to those who need our help.

​

Every contribution, large or small, helps us work to that goal.

Ways to support WheelieQueer

There are many ways to support WheelieQueer, whether you're an individual, small business, community organisation or larger company.

​

Financial sponsorship and contributions

Financial support helps us keep services affordable, cover essential costs and invest in our future. Contributions can support our day-to-day work, future development or specific initiatives.

​

Supporting our contingency fund

Our contingency fund is intended to provide a financial safety net, helping WheelieQueer manage unexpected expenditure, fluctuations in income and essential costs without unnecessarily disrupting services. One-off or regular contributions can help us build this reserve and strengthen our long-term sustainability.

​

Donating products, equipment or professional services

We welcome conversations with organisations that may be able to offer equipment, software, digital services, professional expertise or other resources free of charge or at reduced cost. Reducing essential expenditure helps us direct more of our available resources towards supporting our communities.

​

Corporate and community fundraising

Businesses, employees and community groups can also support WheelieQueer through fundraising activities, workplace initiatives, sponsored events and other creative opportunities. We're happy to explore ideas together, whether you're planning a one-off activity or looking to build an ongoing relationship.

Help make advice and advocacy more affordable

Financial contributions can also help reduce the cost of specialist disability benefits support for people facing financial barriers.

​

This may include:

  • Support with disability benefits applications and forms

  • Mandatory reconsiderations and appeals

  • Tribunal preparation and representation

  • Evidence gathering and collaborative writing

  • Accessible information and communication support

 

Examples of contributions

  • £25 – towards the cost of a support session

  • £50 – towards individual advice and advocacy

  • £150 – towards more complex casework or appeal preparation

  • £250 – towards extended support and evidence preparation

 

These amounts are illustrative. Contributions are allocated according to the support arrangements agreed with the sponsor and WheelieQueer's service needs. Every contribution can help reduce barriers to accessing specialist support.

Organisational partnerships

We believe meaningful partnerships can help create more accessible, inclusive and connected communities. We're interested in working with organisations that share our commitment to disability rights, accessibility and LGBTQ+ inclusion.

​

This may include:

  • Charities and community organisations

  • Deaf, disabled and LGBTQ+ led organisations

  • Healthcare, education and support services

  • Universities and colleges

  • Advocacy groups and grassroots initiatives

  • Businesses committed to accessibility and inclusion

 

Opportunities for collaboration may include:

  • Joint events, campaigns and community projects

  • Referral and signposting partnerships

  • Accessibility and inclusion initiatives

  • Educational resources and awareness-raising

  • Community outreach and engagement

  • Longer-term strategic partnerships

 

We welcome opportunities to share knowledge, strengthen referral networks and explore projects that create meaningful benefits for the people and communities we support.
