Podcasts are audio recordings that can either be listened to online or downloaded and listened to at a more convenient time. Some of our podcasts look at issues that families call the helpline about and others are interviews with parents and focus on a particular condition.

Facebook proves a great way for Contact a Family to keep parents up to date on the latest news that may affect them and their families. It is very interactive and parents can share information that affects all families regardless of the condition or disability that their child has.
This is a fast moving service that allows uses to send and read messages of up to 140 characters, known as tweets. It's a short snappy way to get current news and information out to a wide audience. Twitter tends to be used by other charities and organisations but it is an open forum for anyone.
Contact a Family has a Twitter account that is regularly updated.
On the right is a snippet of our live Twitter feed.
On YouTube you will find a selection of videos as well as our podcasts. The videos highlight the work of Contact a Family and the issues for families.
