Families matter to us
Families matter to us
Our family service offers tailored support for families of children with special needs and disabilities, skills and well-being workshops. Our free service supports families and carers who have children age 0-25, and sometimes older. Children do not need a formal diagnosis to access our support. We also provide support to parent carers of adults with learning disabilities in Westminster. Our support can be long term or one-off and families can visit us at our community based sites in Westminster and Kids Can Achieve, Harrow.
We work with families to gain more choice and control over their lives by enabling them to access all the support available to them, gain better financial control, enhance wellbeing, build stronger support networks with other families and enable better communication between children and their parents which ultimately leads to better outcomes and life chances for their children.

Alice Gestetner and her husband David were involved in Learning Disability Network London (formerly the Westminster Society) for many years. Alice was the Chair of the charity and after her death in 2000, David created the Alice Gestetner fund.
The Alice Gestetner fund makes small grants on a regular basis to families and people with learning disabilities. The grant can be used for essential items such as beds, refrigerators and washing machines. It can also be used for contributions towards holidays and electronics.
