Please donate to give families a brighter future

Families are struggling to get the help they need to give their disabled children the best opportunities in life. This can leave them feeling stressed and isolated. 

No disabled child or young person should be denied the chance to live a fulfilling life. Together, we can give parents the information and confidence they need to find the right care and education for their children, wherever they are in the UK. 

Please donate to Contact’s Unlock the Joy Appeal today. Every gift, whatever the amount, could give a family expert advice to access the education, health and social care their child deserves. 

Thank you so much for gifting joy to disabled children and giving them the best chance to flourish!
