Caudwell Children works tirelessly to transform the lives of disabled children in the UK. We have provided more than £85 million to help over 60,000 children with 653 different medical conditions - providing specialist family support by funding the equipment, treatment, therapy and services that disabled children need. Those services include a UK-first in-house autism service, specialist equipment, employability training, help to reduce household costs, short breaks activity clubs and vital at-home support for disabled children. Caudwell Children was registered in March 2000 and is widely recognised as one of the country’s fastest growing children’s charities. Our administrative costs are covered by founder and Chairman Emeritus, John Caudwell whose vision was to create a sustainable children’s charity that offered benefactors’ transparency and peace of mind that 100% of their donation was being used to directly change children’s lives. By donating the cost of the charity’s annual management and administration overheads, John has guaranteed an efficient way for individuals and businesses to change the lives of thousands of sick and disabled children living in the UK. Since its inception the charity has doubled every pound raised, achieved through supplier partnerships, which means every pound donated works even harder. The charity’s ambassadors include Peter Andre, Joan Collins, Rod and Penny Stewart, Lady Forsyth-Johnson and Christine McGuinness.
