Families we help

Bringing up a severely disabled child is extremely difficult. A family’s physical, emotional and financial resource can drain away very quickly. It costs three times as much to bring up a disabled child. By working with the Family Fund, Family Fund extra can help in providing the things families need most – a washing machine, bedding, clothing or perhaps a few days away – we make a real difference to their lives.

Could the Family Fund help your family?

Family Fund extra was formed to help all families who care for a disabled child or young person, and is separate from the grant making provided by the Family Fund.

As a member of Family Fund extra you may be able to receive further help by applying to the Family Fund for a grant.
