We are here to help seriously ill children and their families overcome the pressures of dealing with disabilities and life hindering illnesses.

Application Guidelines
Eligibility
Applications are open to families with children (up to 18 years old) suffering from a life-hindering illness or disability.
Requirements
Please provide as much detail as possible about the specific needs and how the funding will directly benefit the child.
Review Process
Our team reviews applications on a rolling basis. We aim to respond to all enquiries as quickly as possible.
What to Include in Your Application
The strongest applications clearly explain the child's circumstances, the support being requested and the difference that support will make. It helps to include information from medical professionals, support workers or carers where relevant, especially if specialist equipment or ongoing practical needs are involved.
If you are unsure whether to apply or what evidence to send, please contact us before submitting the form. You can also learn more about our work on the About Us page or read feedback from families who have already received help.
We understand that asking for help can feel overwhelming. Our aim is to make the process as clear and respectful as possible so families and professionals can explain what support is needed without unnecessary barriers. Taking the time to include clear details at the start helps our trustees review requests more quickly.
Before You Send the Form
Check that the application explains the child's needs, the reason for the request and how the support will improve day-to-day life. If equipment or funding is time-sensitive, mention that clearly. It can also help to include the best contact details for the family or professional making the request.
