Contact a Family

For families with disabled children

Across the UK, a child is diagnosed with a severe disability every 25 minutes and over 98% of disabled children are cared for at home by a parent or other family member who didn't "apply for the job" but who has quickly had to become an expert.

When parents find out that their child is disabled they feel isolated and alone because usually they don't know anyone else facing the same problems. They want contact with another family who've been through a similar experience and they want information about their child's condition.

Contact a Family is the only UK-wide charity providing advice, information and support to the parents of all disabled children - no matter what their health condition. We also enable parents to get in contact with other families, both on a local and national basis. Each year we reach at least 250,000 families.
