Family Fund are the UK’s largest provider of grants to low-income families raising disabled and seriously ill children and young people. They help ease the additional pressures families face. They can help with essential items such as washing machines, fridges and clothing but can also consider grants for sensory toys, computers and much needed family breaks together.

They help families across the UK who are raising a disabled or seriously ill child or young person aged 17 or under.
You can apply to the Family Fund if:
  • You live in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales.
  • You are the parent or carer of a disabled or seriously ill child or young person aged 17 or under.
  • You have evidence of your entitlement to one the following: Universal Credit, Child Tax Credit, Working Tax Credit, Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, Income Support, Incapacity Benefit*, Employment Support Allowance*, Housing Benefit and Pension Credit. If you do not receive any of the above, further information may be needed to complete your application.  
  • You have permanent legal residency in the UK and have lived in the UK for six months.
*We may need to contact you for further information about your household income.

Help from the Family Fund is discretionary and subject to available funding. The Fund also retains discretion to decline an application where a family has a significant level of capital or household income. Due to limited funding, we are unable to help all disabled children. We use our own disability criteria when establishing eligibility.

Applications for a Family Fund grant can be made by the parent* or carer* of the disabled child or young person. Young people aged 16 and 17 can make an application in their own right.
They accept one application per household, so if you are making an application on behalf of more than one disabled child, please complete an additional child form for each child you are applying for.
*This should be the person who has parental responsibility for the child and with whom the child lives.
