Grant for the disabled people, to assist with social isolation.

Petition Details

A grant of £5000, that can be used to either buy equipment to use to access video calls or to pay internet access. So that can keep in contact with others. Especially people with Mental Health condition, as the minority will suffer the most from social isolation.

Additional Information

I am suffering from mental health and trying to social isolation, but this is cause my depression and anxiety to increase.
There is also evidence that says it take a long time for people with mental health conditions to get use to new routes.
As the government are moving so fast this cause this group of people a lot more stress. Which will increase the pressure on the NHS and possibly a increase in the amount of suicide.
There is also people with other disabilities that will be affected.
