Family Fund
We are the UK's largest provider of grants to low-income families raising disabled and seriously ill children and young people. We help ease the additional pressures families face. We can help with essential items such as washing machines, fridges and clothing but can also consider grants for sensory toys, computers and much needed family breaks together.

Who is eligible?

Applications for a Family Fund grant can be made by the parent* or carer* of the disabled child or young person. Young people aged 16 and 17 can make an application in their own right.

Applications should be made per family.

If you are making an application on behalf of more than one disabled child, please complete an additional child form for each child you are applying for.

*This should be the person who has parental responsibility for the child and with whom the child lives.
