For every shape and size of family, whatever they need and whatever their child’s disability, we’re here. We run a free advice and information helpline for parents and carers with disabled children from birth – 25 yrs, living in any part of the UK.
There is a desperate lack of services and support for the 620,000 parents in the UK who care for a disabled child. As a result, families face a huge range of challenges and many feel isolated and alone. Coping with extra financial costs and practical challenges can put an enormous strain on daily life, with families more likely to face emotional issues, stress and anxiety.
