The Family Fund charity is one close to my family and my job. My eldest daughter, Emily, has Autism and was helped with funding via a Family Fund grant for some mobility products. In my working life I'm employed by MCC Group, who have a long standing relationship with Family Fund, providing the Apple technology for IT grants that go directly to children and families that need help.

Family Fund provides grants and services to families on low incomes raising disabled or seriously ill children and young people. Everyday families tell us about how this support has a huge impact on their lives, but they still need your help so they can continue to make a difference. Last year, Family Fund provided 88,407. Their ambition is to provide 150,000 grants and services by 2022, and need our support to achieve this.

Through my private and work life I have seen first hand how Family Fund help and support families with seriously ill and/or disabled children and I always try and get involved when possible to help raise much needed funds to keep this fantastic charity going.
