Story

To celebrate their 50th Anniversary, Family Fund are challenging their supporters to take on some fifty-themed fundraising.

So, this year I will be climbing 50 mountains to raise money to support the charity’s work. I’m aiming to raise £2500, which will help the charity to make a difference to even more low-income families with disabled and seriously ill children. Any donation, big or small, is much appreciated.

I’ve already reached the top of 19 peaks - and by the end of the challenge I will have climbed over 40,000 metres – roughly 5 times the height of Mount Everest!

Family Fund is the UK’s largest charity providing grants for families raising disabled or seriously ill children and young people. The support that Family Fund offer ranges from giving carers a well-earned rest, to leasing cars for families who have to transport infants with additional needs, and giving sensory items or white goods to families who need them. Last year, they provided over 150,000 grants or services worth £48 million to families across the UK. Now more than ever, the work that Family Fund do is vital, as demand for support has continued grow amidst the pandemic and cost of living crisis.
