Through grants and emergency equipment loans, we ensure children get the vital equipment they need, when they need it, while our free nurse helpline offers crucial support and information - as well as a listening ear. Our campaigns help to give disabled children and their families a voice, even being instrumental in changing laws to benefit the families we serve. And we support adults with additional needs with volunteering and employment opportunities, providing a means for career development.
