SERVICES
Pick me Up The charity currently offers a transport service where they drive people in need to hospitals for specialist appointments, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, physiotherapy or any medical related need. This service is the only one that crosses local government boundaries to take patients to hospitals and doctors outside their areas.
Special Circumstances Grants
They have helped individuals and families in special circumstances by providing funding for their necessary needs and living requirements. Some examples have included a family of six visiting Sydney, while their child was in hospital needing daily living. Another example was a housebound person with quadriplegia who needed air conditioning for health purposes in the western area.
Caring for Carers
Through their network of benefactors, they provide carers with the opportunity to attend shows and other special events for free. The need for additional benefactors is ongoing.
Celebrity Home Visits Hotline
Bringing the housebound and those living in nursing homes their favourite household names.
Free Wheels
This service is for people who find themselves in emergency situations where they need a loan of a wheelchair accessible vehicle for a short period of time, but can't afford the expensive hiring costs.
The service hopes to remedy this situation by providing affordable vehicles for those who need them most. Their plans are to purchase as many wheelchair vehicles as we possibly can in order to fulfill this need.
Personal Loans for Special Needs Vehicles
The Sir Roden Cutler Charities have secured an exclusive special deal with Maritime, Mining and Power Credit union for people to get access to low cost finance to purchase vehicle that provide special access needs.
