Library service
We offer access to a well-stocked library covering specific disabling conditions and syndromes, current legislation and details of national and local support networks for parent carers. We can also provide free access to the Internet for any parent member.
One-to-one and group work
We hold one-to-one sessions for families with an appointment. In addition we run support groups on particular issues/conditions like an Autism group, parent networking work and carers group. All provide an opportunity to talk to other parents, share ideas and information and meet relevant professionals. We can also link you with other families in the UK via our helpline.

Debt advice in London
Contact a Family has entered into a pilot project with the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) to improve the supply of face to face debt advice to families with disabled children. The Greater London area is one of the pilot areas in which the new service has started. There are seven workers based in Camden CAB who offer advice and help for families with disabled children anywhere in the Greater London area. They will arrange you to visit you at home anywhere in London. If you would like to make an appointment, please call the Contact a Family helpline on freephone 0808 808 3555 and we will arrange an appointment for you.
