Contact a Family


Contact a Family is the only national charity that exists to support the families of disabled children, whatever their condition or disability.

They have over 30 years' experience and their vision is that families with disabled children are empowered to live the lives they want and to achieve their full potential, not only for themselves, for the community they live in and also for society.

They offer support, information and advice to over 340,000 families each year and campaign so that these families receive a better deal.

They began their work in 1974 when families of disabled children realised they were not getting the right kind of support to help them care for their disabled child. There was hardly any provision for the whole family, hardly any cross-condition support and no neighbourhood or community services.

Last year, Contact a Family's family support services supported 9,000 families with one-to-one support over the telephone, at drop-in sessions and through home visits or email.
