Scotland programme

Family Fund provides a wide range of grants to families living in Scotland raising a disabled, or seriously ill, child or young adult on a low income. The programme offers support for items that help meet a child's additional support needs and make life easier for families. Available grants include family breaks, clothing, computers and tablets, days out, furniture and household items, kitchen appliances, sensory toys, games and books, games consoles, outdoor play equipment, specialist trikes and bikes, and support for clubs, hobbies and activities. Families can apply for a grant every 24 months if they are the main carer for a disabled or seriously ill child aged 17 or younger, have been resident in Scotland for at least six months, and have a low income from working or benefits.
