Contact for Families with Disabled Children

Contact is the only UK-wide charity providing advice, information and support to parents of all disabled children - no matter what their health condition.

Our freephone helpline offers a one-stop-shop for families of children with disabilities, with advice on benefits and welfare rights, community care issues, education needs and a listening ear, with access to interpreters.

We link parents of children with the same disability or condition on a local and national basis through our family linking service

We provide a wide range of publications for parents and professionals including the 'Contact Directory - the essential guide to medical conditions, disabilities and support groups.

We have local, regional and nation offices plus volunteer parent representatives and family workers in the UK.
