Welcome to Newlife Foundation
Disabled children have been at the heart of the charity since 1991. Since that time we have become, through our work, the specialists for special children. Their needs and the needs of their families and carers, their health and their voices are all central to the work of the charity. Thankfully more babies and children survive conditions, accidents, infections and cancers, we see more children live through these experiences and therefore widened our remit to include all children with significant disabilities.

Helping children and Families
Newlife Nurses are the gateway to information, grants and care. They man a national Helpline which supports and informs families, whether they have just been told of their child's disability or need help accessing local services. The Newlife Nurse Helpline is free, confidential and trusted.

Funding & Success
Newlife Foundation funds pioneering work to improve child health, treatment and the knowledge to prevent disability. Medical research holds the key, we can only unlock the doors with sufficient funding to start to answer the 'why?', 'how?' and 'what next?' questions.
view detailsThis chair has already changed our lives even though we have only had it a couple of weeks. Last week we were able to take Emily out to the zoo during half term and because of the lie feature on the wheelchair we were able to take her into the disabled toilets to change and see to her cares, something we have never before been able to do, it was always a case of doing Emily's care in the boot of the car; very uncivilised !! The moulded seat is so supportive and comfortable and Emily just loves it. Thank you so much.
