Helping families in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales
The Family Fund helps families with disabled children and young people aged 17 and under to have choices and the opportunity to enjoy ordinary life.
We give grants for things that make life easier and more enjoyable for the disabled child, young person and their family, such as washing machines, driving lessons, computers and holidays.
The Fund is a registered charity, helping around 53,000 families on the lowest of incomes across the UK. We provide grants to families totalling £31 million pounds a year.
New - We have changed our income criteria to help working families on the lowest of incomes

"My son starting college and needing a laptop for his work would have been a great strain fur us had it not been for the Fund. To help him in his 17th year is fantastic as the need for support does not go away and is often greater"
