About Us

Founded in 2020, Clinically Vulnerable Families CIC is dedicated to supporting UK individuals who are Clinically Vulnerable, Severely Immunosuppressed, and their households. Our mission is to provide peer support, share evidence-based resources, and offer practical advice to those facing heightened health risks.

Our Team

Our team is made up of dedicated volunteers, many of whom have personal experiences with clinical vulnerabilities, bringing personal understanding and empathy to our work. While nearly all of our team members volunteer their time, we are in the process of employing one key individual to ensure continuity and provide essential coordination for our growing efforts. Our shared commitment to this issue drives our mission to create an inclusive society where everyone can safely access workplaces, healthcare, schools, and all public spaces.

Our Vision

We need a world where Clinically Vulnerable people and their families can live safely, with equal access to society. Through advocacy for essential protections and the strength of a united community, we aim to restore the freedoms and dignity of those most at risk.

Use of Funds

The funds raised will be help us with:

• Advocacy Efforts: Engaging with policymakers and service providers to ensure safer access to essential services.
• Public Awareness Campaigns: Educating the public on the challenges faced by Clinically Vulnerable people in order to build a more inclusive environment.
• Practical Assistance: Providing resources and support to families navigating health risks.
• Peer Support Programs: Facilitating connections online among families for shared experiences and mutual aid.
• Representation at the UK Covid-19 Inquiry: CVF's work has already ensured the voices of Clinically Vulnerable people and families are heard in this important UK inquiry into the Covid pandemic.
