Many customers and parents of children with special needs ask about charities or funding bodies that may help support them in terms of advice and financial assistance.
We have included some links below but please be aware that these links are for guidance only and of course every charity has different aims and different funding criteria. You should take the time to research each charity and contact them directly in regards to your circumstances. This is aimed to be a start point for those researching who might be able to help them and is in no way exhaustive either. Some users have also successfully raised funds via GoFundMe or similar crowd sourcing platforms.
