EnglishHow to Donate to or Get Involved with Care for the Family
Updated
You can support Care for the Family either by giving money — a monthly or one-off donation in amounts like £10, £20, £30 or £50, or any amount you choose — or by getting involved in other ways such as training to support others, shopping, attending live tour events, or signing up for updates. The charity states it receives no government funding and relies almost entirely on donations, so both routes matter. The details below come from its own homepage.
Donating: monthly or one-off
Care for the Family offers two giving options on its donation form:
- Monthly — a recurring gift.
- One off — a single gift.
You can select a preset amount (£10, £20, £30, £50) or enter Other for any amount you can afford. The site frames every donation, "no matter how small," as helping to transform family life.
What different amounts are described as supporting
The homepage gives specific examples of what a monthly gift could fund:
| Monthly amount | What the site says it could provide |
|---|---|
| £10 p/m | Resources to help parents navigate online dangers |
| £20 p/m | Send a bereaved parent on a bereavement support day |
| £30 p/m | Support for relationships on the brink of breakdown |
| £50 p/m | Help subsidise a single parent family to have a much-needed break |
These are the charity's own illustrations of impact, not a fixed price list — the site also accepts any amount.
Why donations are the main funding route
The homepage states that Care for the Family has no government funding and relies "almost entirely on people who care." It also cites figures: since 2021, 3,881 families were supported through donations, and last year £55,608 was spent on equipping thousands of families across the UK.
Getting involved beyond donating
The homepage lists several non-donation ways to participate, each with a "Find out more" link:
- Get stuck in — general involvement with the charity's work.
- Train to support others — training to help people facing family difficulties.
- Shop — supporting through purchases.
- Live tour events — attending events.
- Media — engaging with the charity's media content.
Staying in touch
You can sign up to receive regular updates, which the site describes as including practical articles, top tips and encouragement, plus news about the charity's work and events near you.
What Care for the Family covers
The charity describes itself as a national charity promoting strong family life and helping those facing family difficulties. Its support falls into three areas:
- Couple Support — preparing for marriage, married life, supporting couples, and The Marriage Challenge.
- Parent Support — new parents, everyday parenting, additional needs, single parenting, blended families, adoption and fostering.
- Bereavement Support — widowed young support, bereaved parent support, supporting bereaved people, and bereaved sibling support.
If you want to give, the simplest path is the donation form: choose monthly or one-off, pick a preset amount or enter your own, and submit. If giving money isn't possible or isn't your preference, the training, shopping, events and updates routes let you engage with the same work.
