Marches Family Network... a lifeline for families in Herefordshire
During the 2025/26 year, Marches Family Network delivered over 100 sessions supporting disabled children and their families in Herefordshire. Without these sessions, hundreds of families would be left feeling isolated - not realising that there are others that know just how they feel.
It's hard to describe how hard it is to go out as a family - MFN has allowed us to go out without judgement and be with other families. My kids are not the odd ones out
Marches Family Network has come a long way since first starting as a charity in 1995. Over 300 families now receive support from the charity, with this number continuing to grow every year. Without support, Marches Family Network would not be able to continue to help these families. Families who often have no where else to turn
