How we help

Support shaped around each child

Every family’s needs are different. We consider requests that can make a clear, positive difference to a child living with a rare disease.

Equipment and practical items

Mobility and sensory aids, therapy items and other equipment that improves independence, comfort, safety or participation.

A child and parent sharing a close moment outdoors

Travel and access

Help connected to essential appointments, specialist care or activities when rare disease creates additional barriers for the family.

Family days and memory-making

Experiences that bring a family together, create happy memories and give a child something special to look forward to.

Children enjoying a camping experience together

Wellbeing support

Practical wellbeing items and clinician-recommended supplements where they form part of the child’s support needs.

Children’s hands gathered around a small heart

Support is considered individually and depends on available charitable funds. We may ask for further information so trustees can make a fair decision.
