Practical Support During Your Child’s Journey
Making It
Possible
Small, personalised support for a need that matters.
When your child is seriously ill, even a small practical difficulty can add to the pressure your family is carrying. Making It Possible may be able to help with a specific item, experience or need that would make day-to-day life a little easier, safer or more manageable.
When the usual answer doesn’t quite fit
Your request doesn’t need to fit a set list.
Tell us what would help you and why it matters to your child or family.
Make everyday
life easier
An item or practical solution that supports your child or family at home, in hospital or while travelling for treatment.
Helping your
child take part
Support that removes a barrier to an activity, milestone or meaningful family experience.
Responding to
individual needs
Something specific to your child’s health, development, mobility, communication or sensory needs.
Individual support considered with care
Making It Possible is our flexible support offer for needs that are not fully met by another Ripples service, the NHS, local services or another charity.
We consider each request individually. We may offer an item, arrange support directly or contribute towards an agreed cost. The help available will depend on the need, suitability, charitable funds and our ability to provide it safely.
Making a request does not guarantee funding. We will always respond with care and explain what we can, or cannot, offer.
This support may be suitable when:
The need is specific and can be explained
The support would make a clear and meaningful difference
The same support is not readily available elsewhere
It can be provided safely and within our charitable purposes
Ripples of Compassion can fund the item, service or experience directly (we are not able to give any funds directly to families.

“Your support allowed Mandy to be able to travel to the hospital quicker and spend more time with Jackson. It also let her be there for Jonathan getting out of school and to respond quickly if the hospital requires her to attend.”
