"Our service, which supports children and young people with significant learning disabilities and their families, have been beneficiaries of Cash for Kids for many years, really since the start of this wonderful initiative. We would simply like to say thank you on behalf of the many, many children and families who have greatly benefited by the help they have received .Cash for Kids really can make a real difference –we know that from experience."
