Charities

We provide practical information for families and professionals about understanding and supporting children, young people and adults with severe learning disabilities, whose behaviour challenges. Our Family Support Workers can offer individual support and information over the phone and by email. We also offer peer-to-peer support through our Carers’ Catch-Ups and email networks for family carers and for professionals.

The Children's Society is a leading children's charity committed to making childhood better for all children in the UK.

The Children's Trust is a national charity working with children who have multiple disabilities and complex health needs. We are based in Tadworth, Surrey but our services are offered to children from across the UK. The Trust offers a unique combination of skills and experience in meeting the complex needs of children with profound disabilities.

The only specialist national charity for people in their last years and their much loved, much needed companion animals. A network of 18,000 volunteers “hold hands” with owners to provide vital loving care for their pets. We keep them together – for example, we’ll walk a dog every day for a housebound owner, we’ll foster pets when owners need hospital care, we’ll fetch the cat food, or even clean out the bird cage, etc. When staying at home is no longer an option, our Pet Friendly Care Home Register lists care homes and retirement housing happy to accept residents with pets, and providing previous arrangements have been made with us we will take on life time care of a bereaved pet. The Cinnamon Trust – Peace of mind for owners, love, care and safety for beloved pets. But helping over 150,000 people a year with 157,977 animals and running two home from home sanctuaries costs – We need your help to make sure we’re always there.
