Family Fund is a UK charity that provides grants and other support for families raising a disabled or seriously ill child or young person on a low income. Its support is intended to help with the extra financial and practical pressures that disability or serious illness can bring.
It may be helpful for clergy households affected by those pressures. Family Fund says its grants can help with items such as kitchen appliances, clothing and bedding, sensory or play equipment, digital devices and, in some cases, family breaks. It also offers wider support around digital skills, finances and finding further help.
Its guidance says grants are for families on a low income whose child or young person has significant additional support needs. Eligibility is based on the level of support needed in daily life, not diagnosis alone.
