About Family Fund

Family Fund is the UK’s largest charity providing grants to low-income families raising disabled or seriously ill children. Established in 1973, we have been dedicated to improving the quality of life for these families by offering financial support and practical assistance.

Our core mission is to alleviate the financial burden faced by families, enabling them to access essential items and services that enhance their children’s well-being. We understand that raising a child with additional needs can be challenging, and our aim is to provide a helping hand during difficult times.

Family Fund offers a range of grants for various purposes, including:

• Essential household items: We provide funding for items such as washing machines, fridges, and other necessary appliances.
• Specialist equipment: Grants are available for equipment tailored to the specific needs of disabled children.
• Short breaks: We support families in accessing respite care and short breaks to recharge and spend quality time together.

In addition to financial support, we also offer information and advice to help families navigate the challenges they face. Our team is committed to ensuring that every family receives the support they need to thrive.

We believe in the power of community and work closely with local organisations to reach families in need. Through partnerships and collaborations, we strive to create a network of support that extends beyond financial assistance.

At Family Fund, we are driven by our vision of a society where all families, regardless of their circumstances, can access the resources and support they require. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
