A parent never imagines their child will be diagnosed with a life limiting or life threatening condition. But when the unimaginable happens, Acorns steps in, helping families cope at every stage of their child’s life and beyond, wherever and whenever they need it.
The ataxias are a set of life-limiting neurological conditions that disrupt the messages sent from our brains to our muscles. Not just the muscles we use to move, but those we use to speak, listen and see.
The National Children’s Bureau (NCB) has had a successful year delivering impact through our programmes, sector convening and policy work. We focused on informing political manifestos and policies for children and families, and built a strong working relationship with the newly-elected Government.
Thanks to the generosity of Childlife supporters, we have been able to provide life-changing support and invaluable information to deaf children and their families across the UK over the last year.
