Why support Caudwell Children?

Taking on a challenge for Caudwell Children is about more than personal achievement, it’s about creating real, lasting change. Every mile you run and every pound you raise helps provide vital support for disabled and autistic children across the UK.

Your efforts enable us to deliver life-changing services, from specialist equipment and therapies to family support and skills development. These aren’t just services, they are opportunities. Opportunities for children to build confidence, gain independence, and reach their full potential.

By supporting Caudwell Children, you’re not just completing a challenge you’re helping to transform lives. Every step you take brings a child closer to a brighter, more independent future.

What impact could you make?

• Every £1 you donate helps us deliver at least £2 worth of practical and emotional support to children and families in need, ensuring your contribution goes twice as far.
• In 2025, Caudwell Children provided 21,504 instances of support across all services in the UK to a cost of £7.5million.
• Your support allows us to provide critical resources like specialist equipment, therapy, and family support, transforming lives and offering children a brighter future.

At Caudwell Children, we believe every autistic and disabled child deserves choice, opportunity, and understanding.

We now support children and young people aged 0–25, and our mission is constantly evolving: not only to help families today, but to create a more inclusive world for tomorrow.
