Essential support is out there.
The gap is still here.
Public services provide essential support. But they cannot always cover every practical need a child and family faces at home. Uplift Me helps fill that gap.
12%
of UK children are disabled
Up from 7% a decade ago.
23%
of families surveyed went without specialist equipment or home adaptations
30%
of families surveyed live in a home that doesn't meet their disabled child's needs
62%
of parent carers surveyed reduced hours or left paid work
Average reported income lost: £21,174 per year.
THAT'S THE GAP.
A child can have a diagnosis, clinicians and a support plan — and their family can still be missing practical products, adaptations or everyday support that could transform life at home.
