Your monthly gift helps provide emergency support to families in need, essentials like clothing and bedding
Every gift, no matter the size, helps families in crisis
Families don’t plan for crisis. Sudden job loss, illness or unexpected bills can leave parents struggling to meet their family’s most basic needs.
In these moments, Family Action’s grants provide fast, practical help, covering essentials and easing immediate pressure.
By supporting us monthly, you can help us to act quickly when families face crisis, providing essentials, reassurance and dignity when it matters most. Your support means families don’t have to face their hardest moments alone.
This grant has changed my life. I can’t tell you of the difference it will make. Thank you so much.

Understanding the research
We know that families are struggling, we see that through our services every day, but we also look at the latest research and statistics on poverty to understand the bigger picture, as well as conducting our own research to inform where support is needed most.
The above stats are taken from Joseph Rowntree Foundation, UK Poverty 2026 Report*; and Family Action** polling data.
Our Family Action polling was carried out by Censuswide, among a sample of 2,083 UK parents/carers of children under the age of 18. Censuswide abides by and employs members of the Market Research Society and follows the MRS code of conduct and ESOMAR principles. Censuswide is also a member of the British Polling Council.
We see it for ourselves but we also see it in the data and so we know your support will make a huge difference to families who would otherwise struggle to overcome the challenges they face.
