A massive, thank you again to our runners and to everyone who donated, cheered, and shared our updates. These funds are already making a practical, immediate difference - ensuring that statutory funding limits don’t stand in the way of families getting essential care.

158 incredible people donated to support at the this weekend! Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised over £4,000 for our Crisis Fund!

A massive thank you to our runners who gave it their all, and to every single supporter who donated, cheered, and shared our posts. We couldn’t have done it without you.

What does this mean for our families?
The Family Futures Crisis Fund provides urgent, practical support exactly when it's needed most. When statutory funding is limited, everyday barriers can put vital care out of reach. These funds help us step in immediately - whether that’s covering a train fare so a family can make it to therapy, funding emergency home visits, or providing essential therapeutic resources like art supplies.

In tough times, something as simple as transport can be the key to keeping a family supported, safe, and connected.

The race may be over but you can still donate to our Crisis Fund via our website www.familyfutures.co.uk/donate

Back when last won the Premier League title (the iconic 2003/04 season!), we were in a rented office in Islington with a team of just six people.

22 years later, our forever home is just a 20-minute walk from the Emirates Stadium! Thanks to incredible equipment donations from , our team of over 30 specialists can support young people and their families in our state-of-the-art sensory gyms.
