Caudwell Children

Empowering disabled children to reach their full potential through practical and emotional support.

To date Caudwell Children has provided services worth over £37million to over 20, 000 children with over 560 different medical conditions. The charity is committed to changing the lives of children by providing specialist direct family support, equipment, treatment and therapy as well as its annual ‘Destination Dreams’ holiday and their Enable Sport service.

Caudwell Children was registered in March 2000 and is widely recognised as one of the country’s fastest growing children’s charities. Since its inception the charity has doubled every pound raised, achieved through supplier partnerships, which means every pound donated works even harder.

The charity was founded by philanthropist, John Caudwell, whose vision was to create a sustainable children’s charity that offered benefactors’ transparency and peace of mind that 100% of their donation was being used to directly change children’s lives.

By donating the cost of the charity’s annual management and administration overheads, John has guaranteed an efficient way for individuals and businesses to change the lives of thousands of sick and disabled children living in the UK.

John Caudwell remains the charity’s largest benefactor and sits as Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

The charity’s ambassadors include Peter Andre, Joan Collins, Elizabeth Hurley, Rod and Penny Stewart, Rachel Stevens, Sir Bruce Forsyth and singer, Robbie Williams.
