About Contact A Family
Across the UK, a child is diagnosed with a severe disability every 25 minutes*. Although some children need hospital care, 98% of disabled children live at home with a parent or other family member* who may not have expected to be in this position but who has quickly had to become an expert.
When parents find out that their child is disabled they feel isolated and alone because usually they don't know anyone else facing the same problems. They want contact with another family who've been through a similar experience and they want information about their child's disability.
Contact a Family is the only UK-wide charity providing advice, information and support to the parents of all disabled children - no matter what their disability or health condition. We also enable parents to get in contact with other families, both on a local and national basis. Each year we reach at least 275,000 families
Contact a Family is a national registered charity, founded in 1979, for families with disabled children.
At our heart is a unique and powerful combination of:
- expert and comprehensive knowledge about rare disorders and all aspects of disability
- a wealth of personal experience and contacts
- an approach driven first and foremost by parents' points of view
Our aim is never to dictate to families but always to enable them to organise their own systems of support and contact. It is this enabling rather than running approach that allows us to deliver social change far beyond our resources and size.
