Family Fund - Wales Programme

Family Fund provides a wide range of grants to families living in Wales raising a disabled or seriously ill child, or young adult, on a low income.

If you run a group working with disabled or seriously ill children or young people then you can support the families you work with to apply for funding or families can apply without the support of a group. Whether you need outdoor play equipment like a swing, slide or trampoline; games, books and music; sensory or play equipment; technology for your child, or a much-needed family break, we are here to help.

Apply for items that will help meet your child’s additional support needs and make life easier.

Take a Break Wales grant scheme opens midday on Monday the 5th of October and will close at 5pm Monday 2nd November 2026.

Eligibility

Families in Wales can apply for a Family Fund grant every 24 months.

You can apply if:

• you’re the main carer for a disabled or seriously ill child, aged 17 or younger 

• you have a low income from working, or benefits
