How your donations make a difference

Your support helps us provide essential information and advice to disabled people and their families. Last year alone, we supported over 42,000 people through our Helpline and Disability Energy Support service. But right now, 1 in every 4 calls goes unanswered.

It costs nearly £1 a minute to run our helpline, with each call lasting around 20 minutes. Every donation matters. Here’s how:

  • One bag of donations (worth around £20) covers a 20-minute call, connecting a disabled person or family member with one of our advisers.
  • Two bags of donations (£40) enable us to call two people back, giving them the time and support they need for more complex issues.
  • Three bags of donations (£60) can fund a 60-minute call, helping to resolve urgent problems.

Every donation helps us reach more people who need support. Thank you for making a difference.
