Calls for urgent financial support for families of seriously ill children

Together for Short Lives, Contact, Scope and other organisations representing disabled children and their families have published an open letter to the Conservative Party Leadership candidates calling for urgent action to address the mounting hardship facing families caring for seriously ill and disabled children. Like many across the UK, these families are facing the alarming news that Cornwall Insight is now predicting the energy price cap to rise by 81% in October and then again by a further 19% in January.
