Contact a Family is an independent, self funding charity that became a registered in 1979 and we have nearly 30 years of experience of working with families with disabled children.
Our vision
Contact a Family's vision is that all families with disabled children are empowered to live the lives they choose to live, and achieve their full potential, for themselves, for the communities they live in and for society.
Contact a Family's mission and purpose is to remove the barriers imposed by society which prevent families with disabled children achieving their full potential, and to empower these families to live the lives they want to lead.
Our work
Last year, Contact a Family helped over 300,000 families with disabled children.
