Help families struggling this winterWe simply couldn’t do what we do without our generous supporters. Find out how you can help us be there for more families by supporting our Winter Appeal. There is a desperate lack of services and support for the 1.6 million disabled children in the UK. As living costs continue to skyrocket, many families are struggling to keep afloat. Thousands are unable to afford the life-saving electrical equipment their child relies on. Contact provides a lifeline for these families, but as a charity, we rely on the donations of our generous supporters to continue providing our vital services. Ways you can help this winter You can make a one-time donation or set up a regular monthly contribution on our website. Our weekly lottery has become a favourite way for people to support our work. For just £1 a week, you’ll have a chance to win up to £10,000 every Friday! Make a donation Play our lottery Fundraise for us These are just a couple of the ways you can help. You can also make a purchase in our Fledglings store, or use a charity cashback provider when you shop online. Last year we provided 291,000 families with life-changing support Contact was literally a lifeline. The first time I had contact with them was the day we received our son’s diagnosis. I was given information and understanding. Most importantly I was given hope and support. I will never be able to say thank you enough. – We’ve taken part in many workshops, family events and activities organised by Contact. But one of the biggest factors for me has been that Contact has stopped us feeling so alone. We are part of a bigger family who can support each other. – Contact is very special. They truly understand the depths and complexities families with disabled children face every day. They speak our language and provide practical support that is truly life-changing. – Watch Adele and Molly’s story Some of the ways your gift could help Giving families the best advice and supportYou could help fund our team of helpline parent advisers and family support workers.Last year we answered almost 13,000 enquiries from parents and carers, with over 269k people accessing our online advice.
