Our 2022/2023 annual report
Emerging from a pandemic directly into a cost-of-living crisis was challenging for all of us but especially so for families raising a disabled or seriously ill child or young person.
Faced with these circumstances, it is no surprise that the need for support – which increased dramatically during the COVID pandemic – continued at a high level.
In 2022/23 Family Fund received 24% more grant applications than expected, 44% of which were from first time applicants – the highest the charity has ever received in its 50 years, and a 114% increase on pre-pandemic levels.
Family Fund’s latest annual report shows how we were able to respond to this need with urgency and dedication to provide critical grants and services at a record level.
Highlights and key statistics from 2022/23:
Family Fund supported families raising disabled and seriously ill children and young people across the UK with 173,756 grants and services.
For the third year in a row, Family Fund Group has exceeded its strategic aim of helping 150,000.
89,278 grants were awarded across all grant-making programmes
84,478 instances of advice and support were provided
