Our promise is to provide support for the families of disabled children.
More information
In Touch was established in 1999 to meet a growing need to support families with a special needs child. Our primary raison d’etre is to provide support for parents/carers and siblings of children with moderate to severe disabilities through the provision of education, training and recreational facilities. In Touch enables families to make new friendships; discuss their fears and anxieties and feel less isolated; share information and attend regular breaks which gives them the emotional and physical strength to continue their daily challenges with renewed strength. We are based in London with a branch in Manchester and presently we are supporting over 300 families. The happy faces of the In Touch families prove that we are heading in the right direction. Our aims are to: Provide support and respite for parents/carers of special needs children; Develop a supportive network between families in similar situations; Reduce stigma surrounding a special needs child; Support children who are siblings of special needs.
