The Dorset Children’s Foundation is an independent local charity dedicated to improving the lives of children with disabilities living within our community.
The DCF provides disability equipment, medical expenses and therapies not provided by statutory services. We also offer Accessible For All, a growing range of sports and play opportunities.
We Care, Counsel, Represent, Educate. We offer counselling, fund a range of support and family groups and run pre-school sessions. We offer advocacy and peer-to-peer advice, disability workshops and campaign for a more inclusive future.
Our charity sales cover all of the overheads so 100% of donations benefit our children.

"The Dorset Children's Foundation is what a charity should be! You say you are 'Big enough to make a difference, small enough to care' and this is exactly what you are. It is a breath of fresh air to find people who are so focused on the children, so passionate about making a difference and so willing to help families for who life can be really quite challenging. "
"We have been overwhelmed with the support and genuine care DCF have shown our beautiful little boy. You are phenomenal people with a growing goal that goes above and beyond what we ever could have expected. "
