Activities

THE FAMILY FUND HELPS FAMILIES WITH SEVERELY DISABLED OR SERIOUSLY ILL CHILDREN TO HAVE CHOICES AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO ENJOY ORDINARY LIFE. WE SUPPORT FAMILIES WITH SIGNPOSTING AND INFORMATION AND GIVE GRANTS FOR THINGS THAT MAKE LIFE EASIER AND MORE ENJOYABLE FOR THE DISABLED CHILD AND THEIR FAMILY, SUCH AS WASHING MACHINES, HOSPITAL VISITING COSTS, COMPUTERS AND FAMILY BREAKS.

Objects: The Charity’s objects (“the Objects”) are (1) primarily to assist families, parents and others with parental responsibility in the United Kingdom caring for a disabled or seriously ill child or person, and (2) the relief of those in need by reason of disability, serious illness, financial hardship or other disadvantage by: (i) providing support by way of financial grants, goods, services and information; (ii) furthering knowledge about disability and its impact on the disabled child or person, their siblings, parents or carers; and (iii) working with other charitable organisations to deliver financial grants, goods, services and information to those in need by reason of disability, serious illness, financial hardship or other disadvantage.
