Help From... Children Today

This national charity gives grants to families to provide specialised equipment to improve the quality of life of children and young people with sickness or disability. A variety of equipment can be purchased with the grants, including play, sensory or mobility machinery.

Funded entirely by voluntary donations and fundraising, Children Today uses money in the area in which it was raised, ensuring its involvement at a local level. Fundraising is as wide and varied as possible with everything from cake-sales and car-boots to sky-diving and fire-walking.

Professionals in the social care, education or health sectors, or parents who identify a need for such equipment, can get advice on fundraising and the equipment available via the charity's web site or by phone. Each application is dealt with on an individual basis.
