Our vision and purpose
Our vision at Family Fund extra is not only our aspiration, but also the reason that we exist. We can and will only achieve our vision through working together with our friends, families and most importantly, our charity, the Family Fund.
What families say
Thousands of severely disabled children and young people have benefited from grants given by the Family Fund. Here are just a few of their stories.
Where the Family Fund began
The Family Fund has been helping families for over 35 years. It supports families caring for children with severe disabilities including those with learning disabilities, mental health problems and a range of physical conditions, where parents or carers are on low income.
What our friends say
The help we receive from our partners, supporters and members is invaluable and allows a real difference to be made to thousands of disabled children and young people across the UK.
Families we help
Bringing up a disabled child is extremely difficult. A family’s physical, emotional and financial resource can drain away very quickly.
Our friends
Everyone needs friends! Whether you are an individual or a company, there are so many ways that you can really make a difference to families who care for a severely disabled child or young person.
