The difference your gift makes

We simply couldn’t do what we do without your generous support

There is a desperate lack of services and support for the 620,000 parents in the UK who care for a disabled child. 

As a result, families face a huge range of challenges and many feel isolated and alone. Coping with extra financial costs and practical challenges can put an enormous strain on daily life, with families more likely to face emotional issues, stress and anxiety. 

Thanks to you, we can be here

In 2019/20 we supported 178,000 families with life-changing support.

We simply couldn’t do this without you.

As a charity, we rely on the donations of our generous supporters to continue providing our vital services. Every donation you make goes into funding our services for families with disabled children. 

Some of the ways your gift could help

Giving families the best advice and support

You could help fund our team of helpline parent advisers and family support workers.,

Last year we answered almost 13,000 enquiries from parent carers and provided up-to-date coronavirus advice on our website.

Funding workshops, events and drop-ins

Last year we ran 400 online workshops and 100 family events for a total of 5,000 parents

Our events are an opportunity for families to get together, build friendships and get mutual support. Your donations mean we can run even more across the UK.

Campaigning for change

Our 15,000 campaigners have helped us change government policy, win court appeals for families and lobbied to ensure families with disabled children aren’t left behind.

You could fund our campaigns team and help us tackle the inequalities faced by families with disabled children.
