About Us
As well as this website, we also have a forum on Facebook. The forum was set up to allow us to share ideas and information, support one another and also keep each other up to date with the various benefits and grants, many of which aren’t highly publicised. It is a closed private forum as we strongly felt it is so important for parents and carers to be able to post freely, safe in the knowledge that their comments can only be seen by other members.
New members are very warmly welcomed and our only criteria is that you must be in receipt of DLA - this is so we know all our members are, to some degree, ‘in the same boat’ and therefore will not unfairly judge the challenges faced by other members. If you would like to join our Facebook group and do meet the criteria, please let us know by completing the ‘contact us’ section..

that are enough for now as I think your heads may explode with overload of information!
Anything you’re not sure of please inbox me or post on our wall and someone will direct you in the right way.
I don’t want anyone missing out on what is rightfully due to them, all the stuff no one tells you about!
Certain sports centres offer free swimming for carers but call beforehand to make sure they offer this
So I would like to thank all the members for their help, advice and just for being on here when others need you. Thank you all members, old and new!
