We are a specialist organisation who supports between 60 – 100 families on a regular basis, across the Wakefield District. In the last 7 weeks we have supported 89 families directly as a result of Covid 19, providing them with vital supplies, including food parcels, clothes and toys. Many of the families are unable to access online shopping, etc, and even though they may have children with complex needs, seem not to appear on the ‘vulnerable lists’,
We keep in touch with the families they support via social media channels and by posting out newsletters to families with no access to the internet. They are currently working with families who have someone with the Covid 19 virus. tnat unfortunately have passed away, we want to ensure that we can deliver what services is needed at the right time , however due to the covid we are struggling financially as we would normally be fund razing and this is not possible nay funds raised will be used directly to offer ongoing support to families of a disabled child/adult and this support is often long term
We have been supporting families for many years, and have built up a unique and personalised service with the families they support. We are trusted and have the backing of our community
