Funding|<br />
Family Fund is the UK’s largest charity providing grants<br />
for families on low incomes, raising disabled or<br />
seriously ill children and young people. They provide<br />
grants for essential items such as kitchen appliances,<br />
sensory toys, family breaks, bedding, tablets/computers,<br />
furniture and clothing. Last year, the charity provided<br />
over 150,000 grants or services to families across the UK<br />
with 8,026 families in Scotland receiving a grant via their<br />
main programme. This year, Family Fund want more<br />
families across Aberdeenshire to benefit from their grants<br />
and support.<br />
Family Fund plan to host Information & Support Days<br />
in Aberdeenshire in November 20<strong>22</strong>, providing an<br />
opportunity for families to drop in at a time that suits them<br />
to find out about local and national organisations that<br />
can support them with a range of issues and concerns.<br />
For example: financial wellbeing, grants and benefits,<br />
local support for carers, accessible social, play and<br />
leisure opportunities, energy advice, housing support,<br />
digital inclusion etc. If your organisation is interested in<br />
the opportunity to exhibit and share information about<br />
your services with families of disabled children, contact<br />
