Family Fund is the UK’s largest charity providing grants for families on low incomes raising disabled or seriously ill children and young people.

We aim to make a difference to outcomes for disabled or seriously ill children and young people and the lives of the families raising them across the UK.

It can be a struggle finacially, emotionally and physically for families raising a disabled or seriously ill child and these grants help break down many of the barriers families face, improving their quality of life and easing the additional daily pressures.

If you are raising a disabled or seriously ill child under 17 and need support with essential items, Family Fund may be able to help.

Family Fund’s mission and vision
Family Fund believes that families raising disabled or seriously ill children and young people should have the same choices, quality of life, opportunities and aspirations as wider families.  We try to make this happen every day by:

• Giving grants to families on a low income for items they may not otherwise be able to afford. For example family breaks, digital equipment, white goods, clothing, bedding, furniture and play equipment.
• Offering services to help parents and carers to achieve the outcomes they want for their child and family. This includes where to go for support with money, benefits and budget planning, information on mental health and wellbeing. And practical workshops to help people get online and use digital tools.
• Providing ways for families to share their experiences, so they can influence lasting change on issues that matter to them.
