FIND A CAUSE // DISABILITY SUPPORT

Thank you for your kind support and giving people with special needs the chance to have a holiday of a lifetime.

What we do

We offer holidays to people with special needs and their family's or carer (in many cases their first ever holiday) in a dedicated centre in the Algarve with special equipment such as bedrooms with hoists and adjoining hygiene rooms, education center, sensory room and sensory gardens, petting zoo, and a swimming pool with hoist. This is the only dedicated holiday center of its type in Europe.

The Aldingbourne Trust supports adults with learning and / or physical disabilities throughout West Sussex.

We are committed to the support and wellbeing of people with disabilities by developing their skills, helping them gain employment in the local community and encouraging them to lead more fulfilled, independent lives. Many of the people we support with learning disabilities also have physical disabilities and our expertise helps ensure people are more able to gain greater control and choice within their lives.

We run a number of Social Enterprises which include an Open farm, cafe, Conference Facilities, a Plant Nursery, a Shop, a Wood Recycling Centre, Furniture Restoration, and a Horse Rug Washing Service.

The Social Enterprises enable us to support adults with learning disabilities with training and employment opportunities, providing them with real life experiences.

The public are welcome to visit us at our Aldingbourne Country Centre near Chichester and also at The Acorn Centre, north of Pulborough.

Thank you for your support.

Every lottery number means that we can continue to provide vital support to families with a disabled child across Sussex.

When you play, you help us build a world where families with children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities are able to thrive.

Thank you.

Playing our weekly lottery is an exciting way to support our work. It helps us to train more life changing assistance dogs, plus you could win one of our great prizes!

Every £1 line you play brings us closer to our goal of providing life changing assistance dogs to as many autistic people as possible.

Every dog we train is not just a pet, but a lifeline to someone. These amazing dogs help their handler to cope with challenges, manage their anxiety, grow in confidence, interact with others, and maintain a happy and healthy lifestyle. They also provide a comforting presence that is truly transformative.

A lottery is a fun and engaging way for Autism Dogs Charity to raise funds. For every £1 played, at least 50p comes straight to us, and the other 50p is split between the prize pot and administration costs. Entering is easy and for as little as £1 per week you will have the chance to win up to £25,000.

The more you play, the more you'll help and the more chances you'll have to win a fantastic prize!

Thanks again for your generous support, it really does make a difference in helping autistic people and their families.

Bakewell and Eyam Community Transport is a not for profit local charity set up in 1989 to provide accessible transport for rural communities across the Peak District.

The BBRF support motorcyclists and their families across the UK, with serious and life changing injuries sustained in road traffic accidents.

Having a learning disability affects the way a person learns, understands information and communicates. This can leave some people facing discrimination, exclusion and even abuse, leading to low self esteem, loneliness and at risk of being in poverty. Our charity believes that people with learning disabilities should be given the same chances as everyone else to live the life they choose, to be more independent and to be valued.

We support people by providing a family home, care to meet their individual needs and, through accredited training, provide an opportunity to increase practical skills, develop communication and social skills and grow in confidence and self esteem. Our inspirational care and training services provide the space, time and flexibility to empower people to reach their full potential.

Much of our training is delivered through social enterprises, raising funds to support our work, and involving the wider community helping to break down barriers and foster a greater understanding of disability. Our training includes agriculture and animal welfare at our farm - the Rare Breeds Centre (which is a farm based visitor centre), arts and crafts, catering and retail, IT training, conservation at Poulton and horticulture in Rainbow Nursery.

If you would like more information or would like to get involved, please contact [email protected].

Living with deafblindness is incredibly isolating and lonely, some people describe it as being trapped in a box that you can’t get out of. It can lead to mental and physical health issues, like depression, and immobility, but it's far more common than many people realise. Around 400,000 people are affected by sight and hearing loss in the UK.

For nearly 100 years, Deafblind UK has given children and adults who are deafblind, and their families, the specialist support they need to live their life beyond sight and hearing loss. We give people the confidence to continue doing the things they love and to live their life to the max!

By joining Unity Lottery today, you will also help to fund vital research into sight and hearing loss so that we can work together to provide a better future.

Your support will help people who are deafblind to reconnect with friends, to start employment, to enjoy hobbies and most importantly, to smile again. Thank you.

Disability Huntingdonshire (DISH) is a small local charity set up to provide specialist benefit advice, support, and advocacy for people of all ages with disabilities throughout Cambridgeshire.

We are unique in that we provide home visits. We also support older people claim Attendance Allowance.

Our vision for a society where individuals are valued and respected for their differences. 

Our mission is to enable individuals with disabilities to achieve independence and live with choice and dignity.

Independence is something that many of us take for granted, but imagine having to wait for someone to come and pick up a dropped item that is out of your reach, or having to call someone just to operate a light switch, or open a door for you; not being able to get to a ringing phone or perhaps emergency medication in time. This can be debilitating and a drain on confidence, in some cases leading to social isolation and an inability to leave the home environment.

Having an Assistance Dog transforms people's lives. By providing a personal dog trainer to help the client train their own pet to become an Assistance Dog, the client grows in self-confidence as well as being physically enabled.

The dogs are taught bespoke tasks, dependent on the owner's needs. They can open and close doors, operate light switches, put in and take out washing from a machine, find the phone and pick up dropped items. Assistance Dogs enable greater independence, bring social contact and reduce isolation. Dog A.I.D. clients also gain an enhanced bond with their pet, providing comfort and devotion.

Can you help us to increase independence for more physically disabled people?

Ezer LaYeled Ltd provides advice, therapy and support to children who are affected by illness and disability; including physical, behavioural, emotional, developmental or academic difficulties.

Children's education is vital to their future and when they struggle with an illness and/or physical/educational disability without appropriate advice and support then they cannot realise their true potential which in return had a detrimental effect on their self-esteem, behaviour and prospects for future employment.

By identifying the cause of the difficulties that the individual is experiencing and by providing unique solutions; including advice, support, sign posting and therapy packages, this enables the children and their families to approach their problems with confidence and focus.

Welcome to the Family Fund UK Weekly Lottery

We know that we have a long way to go until we reach that vision and our purpose is to seek to improve the lives of those living on the lowest of incomes easing the pressures that can often face when raising a disabled or seriously ill child or young person.

At this current time, financial help is needed more than ever and the support families need is greater than the funding that we have so we can’t meet all of their needs.

How it works:

Once you have registered to play the Family Fund UK weekly lottery, you will receive a welcome letter with your unique 6-digit numbers which will be entered into each weekly draw if you have enough credit.

Every week six numbers are selected at random, and if you match three or more in the correct sequence you will win one of the cash prizes on offer. The winning sequence is publicised here every Monday, and if you win, there is no need to make a claim – your prize is automatically sent to you.

NEDCare is an award-winning community initiative that was set-up by local people in 2016, in response to a dire lack of regulated ‘care at home’ services in North East Dartmoor.

The situation was leaving many vulnerable older people struggling behind closed doors, without the essential care and support they needed to maintain their independence and to live safe and well at home in this rural area. Families, friends and those seeking care were often at breaking point when trying to access local services.

As a charity NEDCare’s vision is of ‘care for everyone who needs it, where and when they need it.’
Because the eligibility threshold for support from local authorities has been rising for years, many older people now struggle to pay for the care they need, often having to decide between food, heat or much needed support.

For this reason, we subsidise the cost of care for those least able to pay and most of the proceeds from our lottery will go towards supporting these most vulnerable people.

We also need to double the size of our care team in order to meet local demand – we estimate up to 15 people are waiting for much needed care in our area, at any time. For this reason, a small proportion of proceeds will go in to the ever-challenging task of finding and recruiting outstanding carers to join our team.

NEDCare looked after my mother for 18 months, before she passed away at home, as she wanted. I do not know how I would have managed without NEDCare.

Our mission is;
• To provide reliable, high quality, person-centred care which empowers people to live safely and happily in their own homes.
• To support our well-trained, professional and friendly carers to build excellent relationships with those they support, helping them to remain as independent as possible within their own homes.
• To maintain an open and excellent organisational culture of continuous learning and improvement for all within the service.
NED Care visit me every evening to prepare my supper and complete other household jobs that I can’t do myself. The Carers provide company and reassurance, and they help me to feel safe in my own home. They look after me and my dog (Sam) very well.

For further information please visit https://www.nedcare.org/

Good luck! And thank you for your support.

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare, complex genetic disorder that affects both males and females from birth and throughout their lives. It causes low muscle tone with consequent motor developmental delays, a mild to moderate learning difficulty, incomplete sexual development, and emotional and social immaturity, which can lead to challenging behaviours. During childhood, an overwhelming and insatiable chronic appetite usually develops which, without rigorous food management and exercise regimes, leads to food seeking, stealing and life threatening obesity. PWS occurs randomly in about 1:22,000 births and it is estimated that there are about 2,000 living with PWS in the UK.

PWSA UK are here to provide the much needed support, advice, training and research to enable the lives of all those affected by PWS to thrive.

When a child is first diagnosed it is a very emotional and stressful time for parents and other family members. Parents may feel socially isolated, frustrated and under a great deal of emotional and financial pressure. Families need advice and support to help them come to terms with the initial situation that faces them and learn how to manage in the years ahead. Such support will also be required throughout the child's life and into adulthood, to ensure that all the specialised needs are met.

“Until I contacted SBH Scotland I had never been able to speak to anyone about the problems I was facing and it was a relief to meet others who understood. Over the years when things have been tough, the charity have always provided us with the support we needed.” Pauline O'Malley, an SBH Scotland Mum.

Thank you for your support.

The Kent Autistic Trust has been providing support for people with Autism and other associated difficulties since 1989, supporting people who have significant behaviour and communication needs and prides itself in achieving outstanding care, despite the obvious challenges both in respect of the presenting problems, and within a difficult financial climate.

The trust along with our Family Support provision provide servers for over 5,000 people in Kent and Medway each year, within various community settings including: registered homes, specialist supported living, community based day centre's, respite and support groups. The service provided is carried out in direct response to those who request help and support, those who directly benefit.

By playing our lottery, you can change children’s lives, and give them a better future. At The Movement Centre we provide a life changing therapy, called Targeted Training, which enables children to gain essential functional skills.

We know that Targeted Training makes a huge difference to the lives of the children who visit our centre, but because it is a specialist physiotherapy service, it falls outside the remit for standard NHS funding. This means we rely on the generous support of individuals and organisations to enable us to deliver our vital work. You playing our lottery will make a huge difference to us, the families and the children that attend our centre.

We want to grow the number of players taking part in our lottery so that this year
• More children can gain access to our therapy, and receive free initial assessments
• Children can learn new skills to give them a better quality of life
• We can purchase equipment to create a bright environment, engage the children and make it an all-round fun experience
• Cover hours of therapy each year

It will mean so much to our children and their families to know that you are thinking of them. From everyone at The Movement Centre - Thank you!
