Contact a Family is the only UK-wide charity that supports families with disabled children, regardless of the disability of the child, and offers specialism in rare disorders.
We currently reach over 340,000 families with disabled children by providing a range of practical and emotional information, support and advice services. This includes helping them to access the resources and benefits available to them, a free helpline, access to respite and family outings, and offering peer support as well as workshops to develop vital skills for the whole family.
Donations can be made to any UK registered national/local charity or recognised good cause such as places of worship, schools and scout groups. Get inspiration using the ‘choosing a charity’ link above!
You can nominate more than one charity to benefit from your donations - and you can easily change the amount or nominated charities at any time.
If your chosen charity is not listed on this site you can still support them, just make sure to include their charity number so there is no delay in forwarding on your donation.
