The NAS won't lift a finger to help me. I don't have social services funding, and am rejected for social services funding continually/

Is there another organisation that can help?

Do they give a reason?

There are local groups that are independent, but I'm not aware of another national charity. Where in the UK are you?

They helped me for a bit, few years back. Local branch/organisation was closed down. :( That was literally the only organisation that ever really helped. Even their website is gone (www.disabilitywessex.org.uk)
