Changes to the Family Fund Charity

The Family Fund charity which supports families on lower incomes who are raising disabled or seriously ill children and young people with grants for essential items (e.g. computers and tablets, sensory toys, outdoor play equipment, furniture and kitchen appliances etc) has made changes.

Normally, families can only apply to Family Fund once every 12 months. But, in order to help more families in need of support, Family Fund have changed their application criteria so that any family who has not received a grant since 1 April 2020 can apply again, and are urging families to find out more and apply.
