Disabled children without a voice
Disabled kids and teenagers are often left out, ignored and don’t have much control over their lives. We help them to tell the people that make decisions about their lives what they want and need, which is important because many are a long way away from their families. We speak up for them because they have a right to be heard and we make sure the government does not forget about them.
