Your support makes a big impact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The challenges faced by the families we support have drastically increased over the course of the pandemic and the current cost of living crisis. With reduced incomes, due to round-the-clock caring responsibilities, and additional costs to look after a disabled child, many families now face critical financial hardship. The grants and services we provide have never been in more demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your generosity means we can provide wide-ranging sources of support for families, to improve, and enhance lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 200,000 grants and services for UK families<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From replacement cookers and washing machines, to new beds and bedding, clothing or play and sensory equipment tailored to children’s individual conditions, you help us to be there for even more families in need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Support for young disabled adults – to realise life ambitions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Disabled and seriously ill young people face a significant drop in support when they turn 18 and transition from child to adult services. Your support means our ‘Your Opportunity’ scheme can step in to bridge that gap – giving disabled and seriously ill young people living in the family home the help they need to follow interests and pursue ambitions. From day trips and driving lessons, to sports kit and musical instruments – every donation makes a big difference to a young adult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Digital skills development for families<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We don’t just supply tablets and iPads. Thanks to your generous donations, we can also show families how to get the most out of them, make them accessible, safe and fun for their kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
