Hackney Families Together Hackney Families Together is a group for parents and carers of children 0-19 years old with disabilities and special educational needs. We meet monthly and cover key topics relevant to Hackney parent/carers. For more information give us a call!
Carers: Please send us your care vouchers regularly! We can't manage our finances if we don't know what care is happening! Hackney Family Backup is starting a new project to start a Forum for disabled people living in Hackney The forum will be similar to Hackney Families Together but will be mainly for disabled people of all disabilities and ages. 
The project is funded by Hackney Council and aims to increase
access and equality for disabled
people in Hackney. For more information talk to Catherine on 0207 275 0088 |
HFBU never make direct appeals to the public for funding. If you receive an e-mail requesting
financial assistance that you think might be from us please contact us immediately.
