We understand that life with a disabled child brings unique challenges, and we exist to help families feel valued, supported, confident and informed. To make that happen, we work in three closely linked ways.

We support families with the best possible guidance and information

Our national advice, information and support service
We provide online, printed and helpline advice on education, benefits and finances, childcare, social care, medical information and more.

Our national programmes
We run programmes across the UK, including information sessions, workshops, drop-ins in hospitals and parenting courses.

Fledglings shop
Our Fledglings shop sells toys, clothing and sensory products that make life a bit easier for a parent and more fulfilling for their child.

Support for professionals
As well as supporting families, we help a wide variety of professionals in their work with disabled children.

We bring families together to support each other

Parent support groups
We help local and national groups in their work bringing parents carers together for practical and emotional support.

Online community
Our online community is a place for parents to chat to other families online about anything and everything that affects their child and family.

Family events
Our offices across the UK organise family fun days and outings, giving parents and kids the chance to make new friends.
