Big news! Set your alarms as tomorrow is the day Family Fund feature on BBC Radio 4 appeals. Also did I mention we have Jo Whiley presenting the appeal for us – a radio legend!!
This is our first ever national campaign and we are sp excited for it. It feels weird and unjust to be excited in these times but it’s something we have been working so hard on for so long now that I just cant help it. Especially with the national ‘Save UK charities’ campaign that is soon to launch, this is massive for us to raise our profiles and help our cause, as every penny we raise helps families raising disabled and seriously ill children.
There are one million disabled children in the UK and a third of them live in poverty. As the current crisis challenges all of us in ways we couldn’t have imagined, those with compromised health and fewer resources face the greatest risks.
This Sunday 19 April at 7.54am, TV and Radio broadcaster Jo Whiley presents the BBC Radio 4 Appeal for Family Fund to help disabled children live well through hardship.
It’s three times more expensive to raise disabled children and around a third of families are doing so in poverty.
Family Fund is here to help and provides families with financial support or specialist items helping disabled children live well through hardship.
Jo understands the challenges facing families raising a disabled child, growing up with her younger sister who has a rare genetic syndrome.
So please don’t forget to tune in and listen. If you can then please donate, and it you can’t then please just be sure to go on all our social media platforms and like and share our posts! Get our message out there, share our story and tell all your friends and families!
I’m too excited that I don’t even mind the fact I’m having to work on a Sunday (who even am I?)
Help us out without even getting out of bed!
My alarm is set, is yours?
Loves,
