We see you, we hear you – and you aren’t alone.

That’s the warm message we’re sharing with parent carers across the UK this winter. A message of recognition, solidarity, and support for families who all too often carry more than many realise.

That’s why we’ve created a set of four exclusive stickers to help parent carers feel part of our supportive community. It’s a reminder that Contact and others understand what you’re facing, even on the hardest days.

Pop a sticker on your water bottle, your diary, phone case or even somewhere in your local area where another parent carer might spot it and feel that moment of recognition.

Please support our work

If you can, we’re asking you to make a voluntary contribution of £10 this winter to support our work with families across the UK. We’ll send you our sticker pack as a warm thank you.

We know that many families raising disabled children or children with additional needs are under huge financial pressure. There is absolutely no expectation to give.

A donation today will help fund our life-changing advice and information, delivered by our team of compassionate parent advisers. People who truly listen, understand, and provide practical and emotional support when it’s needed the most.

Together, you’ve helped change the conversation

Thanks to families like yours, Contact has been able to make sure the realities of caring are heard and understood.

Whether it’s helping us shine a light on disabled children’s right to NHS-funded care, highlighting the need for reliable school transport, or exposing the barriers families face in unlocking their Child Trust Fund savings. Your experiences and your voices are driving change. They show just how powerful our community can be when we stand together.

And if you can contribute financially, your £10 will help Contact reach more families who need connection, advice and understanding this winter.
