About Newlife the Charity for Disabled Children
As one of the UK's leading charities providing essential specialist equipment to disabled and terminally ill children, Newlife is dedicated to making life better - for the families we serve, and for the people who help us to make that happen. Through grants and emergency equipment loans, we ensure children get the vital equipment they need, when they need it, while our free nurse helpline offers crucial support and information - as well as a listening ear. Our campaigns help to give disabled children and their families a voice, even being instrumental in changing laws to benefit the families we serve. And we support adults with additional needs with volunteering and employment opportunities, providing a means for career development.
At Newlife we believe that disabled children should get the better future they deserve. For 30 years we have provided disabled children and their families specialist equipment, growing to become the largest charitable provider of essential equipment for disabled children in the UK and the only one offering an emergency response, delivering items directly to family homes within just 72 hours. We also run a free, national nurse-staffed helpline.
