Families InFocus (Essex)

Families InFocus (Essex) is a parent-led charity that works to improve the lives of families who have a child, or children with a special educational need or disability.

Their family support project provides information, advice, and guidance to families who need help. This includes assistance with completing complex forms for disability-related benefits, support with the transition to adulthood social care, or accessing educational support. They work closely with families to provide tailored support.

They also provide a weekly family activity club, siblings support group, and run regular coffee mornings. A grant from us has supported the continuation of this work to help families cope better with day-to-day issues, feel more positive, and more resilient.
