We are so excited to launch our Lifeline Appeal in partnership with the Big Give next week.

From Tuesday 3 – Tuesday 10 December, the Big Give will double every pound you donate to our appeal. This means every gift makes twice the impact for families who need our crucial advice and guidance.

We’re aiming to raise £40,000 throughout our appeal to fund vital support for families with disabled children.

In our new video, Contact’s Chair of Trustees and parent carer, Vanessa, shares the incredible impact you make and how you can help more families like hers.

Parent carers often don’t know what support they are entitled to, leaving them feeling anxious, alone and under huge financial pressure. Vanessa’s story shows how our crucial information and advice gives disabled children the best life chances.

“Contact helped me navigate the ferociously complex health system. Knowing I wasn’t alone meant I could carry on.”
