In this article, our campaigns and engagement lead Maria explains what you can do to take part in our campaign work – whatever time you have to give.

You have a million things running through your head right now. Order the repeat prescriptions. Check the draft plan. Chase the assessment. Email the school. Do the forms. All the forms. Keep the world turning. Rinse, repeat.

But you want to make a difference for your child and others like them. Let me show you how.

I’ve got 2 minutes and 1 nerve remaining, but I want to help

It will take you less than that to sign our letter to the Schools Minister on school transport.

With your leftover minute, can we suggest you use this template to email your MP about social care reforms for disabled children or how about writing to your MP about plans to remove Universal Credit health support for disabled young people.

I’ve got an hour, but it needs to be well spent

Your time is precious – let’s use it to benefit your family directly.

Contact has teamed up with Renaissance Legal to offer a webinar to help you Start planning for the future with confidence.

For parents in England & Wales, this will cover Wills, Trusts and what you need to consider financially. Philip has a warm and accessible presenting style, and it will be strictly cameras off, so you can grab a coffee and watch from the comfort of your sofa.

Spaces are going fast, so book your place today.

I’ve got a bit of time and a story to tell

At Contact we welcome the light that Kellie Bright is shining on the fight for education that families with a child with additional needs are facing. Did you see her recent Panorama documentary?

At Contact we remain determined to elevate parent voice across the UK, on issues across the board. If you would like to share your story via Contact’s Your Voice platform, get in touch by emailing [email protected].

Contact Changemaker Danielle did just this: Your Voice: “Families are being forced into battles they should never face” and we’d love to hear from you.

It’s me that needs help

Contact are here for you. We have a wealth of Information & advice on our website, from education through to financial and everything in between.
