“We urge eligible families in Scotland to come forward with an application to secure help through these difficult winter months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our research shows it costs three times as much to bring up a disabled child as other children, with many families unable to increase their income due to round-the-clock caring responsibilities. As prices continue to rise and winter approaches, many families tell us they are gravely worried about how they will survive the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Family Fund is here for support now so please come forward to apply.”<\/p>\nCheryl Ward, Chief Executive of Family Fund<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

With times more challenging than ever financially, check our eligibility criteria<\/a> and apply<\/a> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve recently sent us an application there’s no need to re-apply – we’re considering your application right now and will be back in touch as soon as we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you help us reach more families who are eligible for support, by sharing this message? Or are you part of a group, network or organisation that would like us to offer an information session? If so, please contact: partnerships@familyfund.org.uk.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n Apply now\n <\/a>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
