Family Fund Mobility Support – Family Fund
Who is Family Fund?
Family Fund are the UK’s largest grant-making charity for families raising a disabled or seriously ill child, on a low income.
Family Fund believes that families raising disabled or seriously ill children and young people should have the same choices, quality of life, opportunities and aspirations as wider families. We try to make this happen every day by:
- Giving grants to families on a low income for items they may not otherwise be able to afford. For example, family breaks, digital equipment, white goods, clothing, bedding, furniture and play equipment.
- Offering services to help parents and carers to achieve the outcomes they want for their child and family. This includes where to go for support with money, benefits and budget planning, information on mental health and wellbeing. And practical workshops to help people get online and use digital tools.
- Providing ways for families to share their experiences, so they can influence lasting change on issues that matter to them.
Family Fund manages a grant programme for families raising a disabled or seriously ill child under three, and would benefit from access to a car.
How can the Family Fund Mobility Support help?
The Family Fund Mobility Support programme is aimed at families raising a disabled or seriously ill child under three years old with significant mobility needs.
Through the programme, we can provide a car-leasing package for a limited period to make transport for your child easier and more practical, so you can take your child to medical appointments, or even just get around day-to-day. If eligible for the programme, Family Fund will cover the costs of the monthly rental instalments for the duration of the lease vehicle.
