We wanted to say a huge thank you to those of you generously donated to our Lifeline Appeal this December.

We’re delighted to say that we’ve raised an incredible £28,718!

This is enough to fund over 1,248 hours of life changing one-to-one support for families with seriously ill and disabled children.

The difference your support makes

Our By Your Side team helped over 1,700 families in hospital last year. We had the privilege of supporting over 400,000 families and helped eligible families increase their household incomes by an average of just under £6,000 a year.

Our helpline responded to nearly 10,000 enquiries, and over 2,700 children and parent carers came to one of our family events.

For every £1 spent on the Family Finances Helpline, we put £6 in the pockets of families.

It also means we can continue to campaign alongside thousands of parent carers to influence government decisions and successfully campaign for change.

If you’d still like to donate, it’s not too late to do so.
