The Dorset Children's Foundation Information

The Dorset Children's Foundation was set up in 2013 to improve the lives of local sick and disabled children and since then we have donated over £750,000 to over 150 local children. We are a small, independent charity and fund medical expenses, mobility equipment and therapies not covered by the NHS. We also grant life enriching experiences, to create special memories that last longer than a lifetime. The Dorset Children’s Foundation also provide Accessible for All sports and inclusive activities for disabled children. We have created a network of support for parents in a similar situation and the opportunity for our families to get together. We also run Paddy’s Purpose a disability awareness workshop, available for schools and businesses. Our 3 charity shops in Bournemouth, cover our modest overheads so every single penny donated goes directly to the children. The Dorset Children’s Foundation – big enough to make a difference, small enough to care.
