GRANTS FOR FAMILIES AFFECTED BY NORSE & FIRES

Caring for a child with FIRES can bring unexpected financial challenges. Our Sam’s Superheroes Family Grants offer up to £500 to support families navigating life with this devastating condition.

 

Whether it’s funding essential medical equipment, therapy sessions, travel expenses for hospital stays, or specialist support, our goal is to ease the burden—so families can focus on what truly matters: caring for their loved one.
