Family Fund

Who we are

Our mission is to make life better for families raising disabled and seriously ill children.  We do this by providing:

• Grants and practical support to make day-to-day living easier and more enjoyable
• Information, connections and skills to empower families, so they can achieve their goals
• Opportunities for families to have an input on the policies and services that shape their lives

Our vision 

Everything we do is designed to contribute to our long-term vision, which is for an inclusive society, where families raising disabled and seriously ill children have ready access to the support they need, and can realise their right to live well and thrive.

We will know when we have reached this destination when:

• Families with disabled and seriously ill children have long-term financial security, and are no longer pushed into hardship because of caring
• Disabled and seriously ill children, and their siblings, enjoy the same opportunities as children in non-disabled families, and can realize their full potential
• Support for families is tailored to their specific needs, and built on a deep understanding of lived experience

Our culture and values

Family Fund is a great place to work, for great people. We couldn't do the work that we do without our dedicated team, who are passionate about makig a difference for families raising a disabled or seriously ill child or young person.

As a values-led organisation, our values: supportive, connected, passionate and determined, influence everything we do.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Inclusion is fundamental to who we are and why we do what we do.  With the input of our staff, we have created our inclusion statement.  This sets out our commitment to improve inclusion in all aspects of our work.

A place for you to be you

Our vision is to have a culture where we acknowledge, and celebrate, all differences so our staff, volunteers, and the families we support feel safe and free to be themselves, always.

We are committed to creating a culture that holds diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything that we do and to establishing an environment that champions equity for us all, making sure we are all treated fairly and reach our personal potential.

We recognise that this requires continuous and concerted action and will learn together to build, and maintain, this inclusive environment.  Everyone at Family Fund takes responsibility for doing this together.
