Run by Aġenzija Sapport, the Empowerment Scheme provides financial assistance and subsidies to help individuals live more independently within their own homes and local communities.
What it covers:
- Assistive Equipment: Funding to purchase specialised equipment or tools that support daily, independent living at home.
- Individualised Transport Subsidies: Financial support for tailored transport services for individuals who are unable to use standard public transport to get to work, attend post-secondary education, or participate in sports training.
Important Note on Eligibility: This national scheme requires applicants to hold an EU Disability Card. Please note that under Maltese and EU guidelines, long-term mental health conditions are recognised within this framework if they impact daily life. Applications require a medical certificate and a professional’s report outlining how the equipment or transport support will aid your independence.
