ContactThe Joseph Patrick Trust
The Joseph Patrick Trust provides vital financial support towards specialist equipment to help promote mobility and independence and empower people with muscular dystrophy or a related muscle disease. Since 1986 over £3 million has been given out in grants making a huge difference to over 5,000 people with muscular dystrophy.
Every year more than 200 grants are made towards equipment such as powered wheelchairs, electric beds and specially adapted computers - equipment that empowers people with muscle disease to be able to do more for themselves and together as a family.

“Without the support of the Joseph Patrick Trust, it would have been a struggle for us to get Libby her new powered wheelchair. It has made a huge difference to the whole family now Libby is able to do more for herself so that we can spend more time together.”
Christopher, Libby’s father
Lewis, Libby and Gary have all recently received help from the Joseph Patrick Trust and were also our star guests when we celebrated the launch of the first JPT Power Up Appeal at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens in November 2003. J Alexander Patrick, Chairman of the Joseph Patrick Trust Management Committee, and a Vice President of the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign hosted the launch.
The funds raised from this appeal will be used to help people with muscle diseases in the West Midlands and is supported by local celebrities Don Maclean, a television entertainer; Joanne Malin, a television newsreader and Robert Taylor OBR KStJ JP, Lord Lieutenant of the West Midlands.
