Contact - Wandsworth
We are Contact, the charity for families with disabled children. We understand that life with a disabled child brings unique challenges, and we exist to help families feel valued, supported, confident and informed.
To make that happen, we work in three closely linked ways:
- We support families with the best possible guidance and information.
- We bring families together in local groups and online, to support each other by sharing experiences and advice.
- And we help families to campaign, volunteer, fundraise and shape local services to improve life for themselves and others.
Support we offer:
- Family Workers are available for families who have children aged 0-19 years to support with any matter regarding their disabled child.
- Support with Welfare Benefit applications including Disability Living Allowance, Personal Independence Payments and Carer’s Allowance
- Support with completing applications for Blue Badges and WAND cards
- Cygnet and CATS – Autism courses for parents
- Workshops for families on a range of topics
- Opportunities to meet other parent/ families including Coffee Mornings, Walk & Talk, Family Events in school holidays
- Funding applications –grants for families to help with much needed items (depending on eligibility criteria)
- Referrals and signposting to other services
- Joint working with Children’s Centres, schools, health professionals, education professionals and Early Years services regarding a range of issues
- Access to information and advice from our Contact national website including an extensive medical directory, emotional support via Listening Ear Service and our helpline
