Since 2003, Grace House has supported local disabled children, young people and their families. Our services have provided vital support to these families and have served to enrich their lives.
We are here to support and include all of the family, when you need us most. From parents to disabled children, young people and their siblings.

Grace House enriches the lives of disabled children, young people, and their families.
At Grace House we passionately believe that our services should be led by what families want and need. We see a lot of providers designing their services around the grant funding that is available but we look to build a service that is based on need, and then look to find ways to fund it. That drive for independence means that we’re constantly relying on the generosity of our supporters.
We work hard throughout the year to create an exciting events calendar with something for everyone. Ranging from annual events such as Golf Day, the Great North Run and our Annual Ball, to seasonal events like our Easter and Summer Fayre and to car boot sales and other challenges!
Volunteering offers not only the opportunity to learn new skills but also to build confidence, meet new friendship groups and support your local charity. It can support you in a happy retirement and create skills to put on your CV. Grace House offers so many volunteering opportunities such as gardening, fundraising, reception, admin, driving and many more.
Grace House offers a variety of services to disabled children, young people and their families, so that they can lead happier, more fulfilled lives. We consult with our families so that we offer relevant services that they feel are indispensable to them.
Our support focuses on all of the family throughout the time that their disabled child is growing up. Our aim is to help families by building their confidence and to support their well-being. We do this by providing counselling, youth groups, work experience, whole family activities, peer support groups, teaching life skills and so much more. We want families to make the most of that special time that they share when children are growing up.
We offer a range of support to families which includes full family activities. Specifically supporting parents, grandparents, carers and siblings of disabled young people. Each group has a different focus, acknowledging that the emotions and issues faced by each different group are unique.
