Having a child that has continence issues, can be really tricky, going through several mattresses a year, trying many protectors and even a washable mattress didn’t survive more than a couple of months, not to mention the endless washing, whilst already feeling the increased costs of living, this was massively adds to our costs each week.

We was sort of lucky to be awarded nappies, however its a very small amount supplied for each day and sadly my sons skin did not agree with them. There was no other option we could try as they only supply 1 type and so we was spending out so much money each month to find things he fitted, and he had rejected the nappies because he didn’t want to be a “baby because he is a big boy” his words.

We was rejected our request for a pull up type so he could feel more empowered and not damage his confidence, we was at a loss at how to help at night, we have tried so many things over the years.

However we was very lucky that STRM supplied us with a new mattress protector, I can honestly say it’s AMAZING quality, we have been using now for 2 nights and oh my goodness what a difference it has absorbed everything and massively reduced the amount of washing and his skin has not flared at all

Thank you so so much, you have really helped us already and we are now hopeful we can share with you in a month or two the financial savings it will make in replacements and electricity bills etc

Wouldn’t have received the support we do without the expertise of the wonderful Maggie. Since finding the support group on Facebook to watching the charity start then grow to now working with Maggie in the office I’m still learning daily. Cannot recommend the charity enough and all the amazing FREE services on offer!

The support from STRM is invaluable. they really do care about SEN families. The bouldering has been so helpful for daughter and the talk from the SEN solicitor about EHCPs has given me such confidence

fantastic place Maggie and the team are just so helpful and caring couldn't have got all my sons support without them , and the bouldering club and emwave sessions have been a huge help for my son thank you all so much again

This charity is a huge support to us. They recently helped us with a supermarket voucher, as part of the Household Support Fund. I also find great help and solace from the Facebook group, where I can connect with other parent carers. An invaluable organisation.

Send The Right Message has been a Godsend, the support this group offers is amazing. Always there to offer advice and help. I had a benefit appt to help me with the DLA form. Claire is on point and really knows her stuff, really listened to what I was saying and converted it to the form. Love this group and the people in it, I would be lost without them.

This page is a huge help to our family, giving great advice and support. Thank you for all that you do.

This group truly care about Sen families. The support they have provided for our family has been amazing and kept me from going insane.
