    Every day over 100 children in the UK are diagnosed with a disability. Their families face a huge lack of support and feel stressed, isolated and on the brink of poverty. Many families with children needing months of specialist hospital care are forced to give up careers and cut back on essentials like heating and food to stay afloat, putting their wellbeing at risk. It can cost three times more to raise a disabled child because of additional costs like running life-saving specialist equipment.

    Our specialist advisors provide life-changing emotional and practical support to families when they need it most - in hospital, during extremely upsetting times. Our advisors ease family anxiety and provide crucial guidance to give their child the best possible life chances and focus on what matters most – enjoying family life together. Our 1-1 expert advice on financial benefits could increase eligible families’ annual household incomes by £5,900, preventing poverty and improving wellbeing.
