There’s no single person from official authorities to help families through the maze of support and tell us what we need to know. Contact covers that niche and helped us get on our feet and enjoy being a family. – Without support from Contact and other fellow parents and carers, I wouldn’t be able to make it today…being part of Contact, allowed me to be who I am. – We’re proud of our numbers! 178,000families helped with our information and advice 3,650parent carers attended our workshops and events £56,000raised by our awesome supporters throughout the year 90%of families feel better informed after receiving support from us
