Our clients the Continuing Care Parents Group are #crowdfunding to challenge cuts to vital care and support for an “alarming” number of disabled children in their area - find out more and support them here: www.crowdjustice.com/case/disable...

We believe that our local ICB is unlawfully cutting vital care for disabled children, which will harm the most vulnerable and lead to harrowing and costly hospital readmissions.
