Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity exists to make seriously ill children’s lives better.
Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity cares about children with lifelong neurological and blood conditions. These rare conditions receive very little funding, even though they have a huge impact on both the child and the family around them.
Spending on social care for the elderly in England is falling this year – despite the assurances of ministers, an analysis by campaigners suggests.
The Age UK report said £7.3bn was being budgeted this year – the same as in 2011 – but it represented a drop of 4.5% once inflation was taken into account.
An extra £20 million has been pledged for the fund which helps elderly people and those with disabilities to carry on living independently in their own homes.
