Helping families in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales
The Family Fund helps families with severely disabled children to have choices and the opportunity to enjoy ordinary life.
We give grants for things that make life easier and more enjoyable for the disabled child and their family, such as washing machines, driving lessons, hospital visiting costs, computers and holidays.
The Fund is a registered charity, helping around 50,000 families in the UK with £30.5 million in grants a year.
