Save the date and double your support this winter

We’re launching our Winter Appeal with the Big Give, an initiative in which every donation to Contact is DOUBLED.

This December, we welcome our community of supporters to join us as we aim to raise £40,000 to fund vital support for families with disabled children.

To help meet our target, we have partnered with our kind Big Give match-funding partners, who will double every pound donated to our appeal from Tuesday 3 to Tuesday 10 December.

This means every gift makes twice the impact for families who need our crucial advice and guidance.

Whether you donate yourself or share information about our Big Give appeal with your friends, family and colleagues, we would really love your help.

The difference your support will make.

There is more demand for Contact’s free services than ever before. Parents tell us they are in a constant battle to get support.

We’re here to give families the information they need to take the next step; emotional support to tackle stress, isolation, and worry; and the opportunity to meet other families like theirs so that support networks can form.

As a charity, we rely on the generous contributions of individual givers to keep our services going. And that’s why we’re asking for your donation this winter.

So please save the date!

“Contact has given me a place to start”

The donations raised from our Big Give appeal will enable our compassionate team of parent advisers to prevent stress, isolation and financial crisis for vulnerable families.

Together, we will be the lifeline for parent carers like Chloe*. Because of our life-changing support, Chloe now feels more confident in navigating the vast challenges that come with caring for a disabled child. She feels happier and better informed about her rights to benefits to afford everyday essentials like heating and food.

“It can be so overwhelming with how to help three children with additional needs but, Contact has given me a place to start and is helpful in giving me a focus rather than being overwhelmed and depressed. Thank you for your time, and thank you for sharing your knowledge of resources to help me.”
