“Having the opportunity to share my professional and personal experiences in the role of trustee is so rewarding. Family Fund is a crucial and impactful charity which really seeks to serve families who are experiencing SEND whilst balancing the impact of a low income. As a result of working in the field of SEND, it is so clear to see the importance of Family Fund and the lifeline and hope they offer to so many families. It is truly a privilege to support Family Fund to support families.”
