In 2014, Polaris Children’s Services began working in partnership with the Family Fund to carry out eligibility assessments. We have recruited and trained staff to carry out assessments of families who have applied for a grant and provide signposting to services that can support the family, as well as ensuring a rigorous quality assurance process for all reports prior to submission.
Our partnership with Family Fund has ensured that families in need were able to apply for funding to provide additional support and equipment in the home for their disabled children. Household goods, a break for the family and computer equipment were just some of the things that have made a real difference to their lives as a result.
