Why fundraise for IPSEA?

The SEND legal framework is very clear about what local authorities, education providers and others must do to support children and young people.
But the law is routinely broken, leaving thousands of children every year without education that meets their needs.

When you fundraise for IPSEA, you help provide:

Free legal advice, information and casework for families who turn to us for support

Free resources that empower families to fight for their child’s legal rights

Powerful policy work that champions the rights of children and young people with SEND

When you take on a running challenge event for us, you'll receive:

  • A free IPSEA t-shirt 
  • One-to-one support from our friendly fundraising team
  • The chance to make a genuine difference to the lives of children and young people with SEND
