A message from the Family Fund

"From 1 April, the Family Fund will be able to help families living in England who have a severely disabled son or daughter aged 16. This extension of our age range is thanks to a grant announced by the Secretary of State, Ed Balls, as part of the Government's Children's Plan.
Applicants will need to fulfil the same criteria that covers families with 0-15 year olds, including not having been helped by the Fund in the 12 months prior to this application.
We are delighted to have received the £8.4 million. This will enable us to help 17 year olds as well, but not until 2009/2010, at the earliest, as the money is to cover the three years 2008-2011 and is being introduced in a phased way.
Funding has been granted over 3 years and by 2010/11 it will include young people up to the age of 18. However, initially sufficient funding has only been provided to help those aged 16."

Wirral Family Consultation Forum

·       Are you a parent or a carer of a child with a disability or special needs?
·       Have you experience of accessing services…good or bad?
·       Would you like to have your say in future planning of services within social care, education and health?
If  you answered yes to any of the above the Family Forum will give you that opportunity. You can voice your opinions and scrutinise the proposals these services are planning. 
The group is welcoming and friendly and gives you a chance to meet up with other parents who are experiencing similar situations to you. If you are interested please come along. The meetings for the rest of the year will be held at Wallasey Town Hall.

Please look at our downloads section, newsletters-section for the dates and times of the group meetings!!!
