Results of Contact's 'Counting the Costs' survey published
The results of Contact's 'Counting the Costs' survey have been published and reveal the financial difficulties facing families with a disabled child.
4,262 families with disabled children in the UK responded to the survey, and over half of all of them have got into debt or borrowed money in the last 12 months to pay for basics. Contact is calling on the Government to produce a Child Poverty Strategy that puts disabled children at its heart. You can find out more and download the full report here.
