England – Support for Families with Disabled Children (SFDC)

The SFDC programme supports families living in England who are raising a disabled child or young person. It is funded by the Department for Education and administered by Family Fund. The programme provides a wide range of grant items to families in England raising a disabled or seriously ill child or young person, and living on a low-income. Through the SFDC programme, families can apply for items that will help meet their child's additional support needs and make family life easier. Available items include kitchen appliances like fridges, cookers, or washing machines, clothing or bedding for children, sensory or play equipment, technology items such as tablets and laptops, or family breaks. Families can apply for an SFDC grant every 24 months.
