They have been supporting the family of a friend of ours. Our friend’s son has a child with severe Downs Syndrome who is non-verbal, doubly incontinent and has many development delays as well as many of the health issues which occur with Downs. The charity has been there for the whole family for many years & then particularly again when the family experienced a major crisis just before last Christmas. They were there with practical & emotional help for the whole family, including the parent, sibling, grandparents, aunt, uncle & cousin.

I thought it would be a lovely thing if we could raise a little extra to help them carry on the work they do.

Below is a little snippet from their website

Families United support families who have a child or young person with a disability, we have developed a local support network within our group led by 4 of our trustees whom themselves have a child who has a disability. The whole family are provided with the opportunity to attend a variety of local activities & trips that are suitable for each member. In doing so, we aim to increase the health, wellbeing and social opportunities for our members. We unite our families so that they find support in each other through shared experiences, strategies and the understanding of the impact that having a child with SEND can have in family life."
