Hello
We’ve been campaigning solidly for seven months. The fact that we are as far as we are is a testament to our community and beyond.
We hate asking, but, unfortunately we can’t afford to underwrite the cost of all of this alone…we wish we could.
Can you help?

The government has slashed funding for vital therapy for some of the most vulnerable children in England, causing enormous harm.
The impact of the cuts are already being felt. Our survey data shows there is very real and very acute damage being done now.

These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child
and even worse - these changes were introduced without consultation, warning and no evidence base
