We are excited to launch this year’s Christmas TV advert which shares Shellie and Adonis’s story. The advert highlights and raises awareness of the hidden costs that disabled families face every day of the year, and how these extra costs can be felt even more at Christmas.
Please help us to be here for families like Shellie’s this Christmas by making a donation.
