This week we have been speaking to an Independent Financial Advisor who has been helping us understand some of the benefits of critical illness cover.
Although we are acutely aware of the financial hardship that families can suffer if a child faces a critical illness we were not aware that many policies now automatically provide children’s benefits.
Of course, the money you would receive would not stop you from worrying about your child. But if something did happen, it would offer some financial support, easing a little of the pressure at a critical time.
If you have critical illness cover, please do take the time to check out the details of your plan. Some policies pay out up to half of your cover amount in these situations. This money would help if you do have to reduce your working hours or take unpaid time off, it could help with the costs of travel and hospital parking, it could help provide additional care for your other children while you’re at the hospital, or pay for a special family treat like a holiday.
If you don’t currently have a Financial Advisor and you would like some independent advice about your existing cover, or you’re interested in discussing cover for your family, then you might like to give Richard Clarke at Flow a call -he is local to us in Hertfordshire, he is friendly and really took the time to help us understand how, with this kind of information, we might be able help some of the families we are supporting.

Detailed below are our events for Teens, Volunteers, Fundraising and Challenges.
Volunteering with Teens Unite has changed my personality and outlook on life. When I hear all the amazing things the teens say about Teens Unite, I can tell they mean every word.
Teens Unite isn't just a charity to me, it was the beginning of restarting my life.
When Elliot started receiving the support of Teens Unite, I could see a change in him straightaway. His outlook on life was becoming positive again and I gained strength from seeing my little boy accepting what had happened and starting to move forward.
I needed help and that's where Teens Unite came in. I believe that everything happens for a reason, and the reason I met Teens Unite was to save my life.
With Teens Unite, I finally realised that I could climb out of this massive hole that I had been digging because I wasn't alone anymore.
If it wasn't for Teens Unite, I wouldn't be where I am now. They have been really supportive and given me the strength to push myself and not give up.
