Family Fund

 

Family Fund delivers grants for families on a low income who are raising a disabled or seriously ill child or young person. To help make a decision about your grant application, they need information about your child’s disability. Your child does not need to have had a formal diagnosis. If your child needs a high level of support in at least three of these areas you may be eligible to apply; Personal Care, Access to social activities, Education, Communication, Medical treatment, Supervision, their Physical Environment.

 

You will need to send a copy of your most recent benefit entitlement. This can be a letter or a screenshot, showing the name of your family’s main carer, and current address. You can still apply if you don’t receive any benefits but will need to provide some extra information about your household income, or speak to someone to confirm your family income and situation.
