A simple January resolution that makes a real difference
Could you kick off the New Year with a resolution that genuinely helps someone else?
Winter is tough for families on a low income caring for a disabled or seriously ill child. This January, by giving up a small treat and donating the savings, you can help provide vital support. Your small act of kindness can bring relief and hope when it’s needed most.

Every single day, families we support are forced to give up essentials many of us take for granted. Heating and food are often sacrificed to cover the steep and ongoing costs of caring.
Winter only adds to that pressure.
This month, you can help by giving up a small treat and donating what you would have spent. Your support helps us provide essential grants and services – from replacement washing machines or beds, to warm clothing and soothing sensory toys – for families who are already stretched to breaking point.
A small change for you can make a huge difference for a family.
How to get involved
There’s no right or wrong way to take part – and no amount is too small.
Whether you skip a sweet treat or give up something more regular, every penny goes towards helping families meet essential costs they simply can’t afford.
What could you give up this January?



However you take part, you’ll be helping families get through winter with dignity and support.
Give up something small. Give back something life-changing.
- Give up a coffee habit → help keep a home warm
- Cancel a subscription → support travel to medical appointments
- Skip a takeaway → help replace a broken washing machine
- Swap meal deals → provide comforting sensory toys
What families have to give up
For many families, these choices aren’t optional. They’re daily decisions made to survive rising costs and meet complex care needs.
Your support helps ease that pressure – not just for one day, but when families need it most.
