Strongbones Children’s Charitable Trust supports disabled children and young people living with bone conditions and bone cancers, with a strong emphasis on practical help that improves daily life and independence. Their support goes beyond cash grants: they fund specialist equipment, respite breaks, family activities, hospital travel, clothing and other essentials, often stepping in when a child’s needs are immediate and highly specific. They also recognize and celebrate children through small awards, suggesting a hands-on, family-centered approach focused on comfort, mobility, and emotional wellbeing.
Primarily small, direct, practical grants and in-kind support; funds specialist equipment, respite stays in adapted caravans, travel and essentials, and occasional small award payments. Support appears responsive and needs-based rather than programmatic, with help delivered as individual cases arise.

This looks like a needs-led charity rather than a broad open-grantmaker. Families or referring professionals should be prepared to show the child’s medical condition, the specific equipment or support needed, and how it will improve independence or family wellbeing; check the charity’s website or contact the grants officer directly for eligibility and current application routes.
