Newlife Foundation: A Fighting Chance for Terminally Ill and Disabled Children in the UK

There are now more disabled children in the UK than ever before, and Newlife Foundation has been working to help disabled and terminally ill children in the country since 1991. Over the years, the charity has become the specialists for special children, improving health and saving lives through its programs.

Newlife Foundation funds medical research to help understand, prevent, and treat childhood disabilities, illnesses, and other life-limiting conditions. Newlife also runs a national helpline that provides support and information for families seeking to care for their child or need help accessing local services. Manned by Newlife Nurses, the free helpline assures confidentiality and professionalism. Further, Newlife Foundation works with policy makers at local and ministerial levels to ensure that disabled and terminally ill children and their families do not go unnoticed.

Newlife operates an equipment grants and loans programs as well, assisting children and families to obtain equipment that can aid mobility, relieve pain, provide independence, and keep a child safe.
