Family Fund
Family Fund is the UK’s largest charity providing grants and services for families on low incomes raising a disabled or seriously ill child or young person, up to the age of 24.
Grants are available for essential items to help meet a child or young person’s support needs, including kitchen appliances, furniture, computers and tablets, play and sensory equipment, clothing, bedding and family breaks.
We also provide services such as digital skills workshops, online money management tools and information events. Find out more about our information and support services on our website.
Who can apply?
To decide if your family is eligible for a grant, Family Fund look at your income and the impact of disability on your child. Children and young people do not need a diagnosis to meet our criteria.
