When you or your family is affected by disability or a medical condition, it can sometimes be an isolating experience. Often being able to contact someone who knows what you are going through can be the biggest help but how do you find those people?

Contact a Family has been putting families with disabled children in touch with each other for over 25 years. MakingContact.org complements our existing services and gives you the chance to safely and easily get in touch with others who are affected by the same or similar disabilities or medical conditions as you are.

With thousands of medical conditions and disabilities listed and thousands of people signed up and looking for contact, this site could help you find the people you are looking for. It's free*, safe and easy to use.

* Finding people, posting your details and replying to others is free. We make a nominal annual charge if you want to initiate contact with others. Find out more about this.
