agreed this would be a good idea - will save disability officers getting
multiple emails asking for this info :)
What about possible sources for students where the HEI doesn't have a
fund available? Maybe Snowdon or similar? Anyone any ideas so we can
maybe compile a list of places students can apply to if they are really
worried about where they're going to find the money?
