NEW: Children & Young People's Module
- UK Covid Inquiry
Clinically Vulnerable Families are preparing in earnest for our next phase of the UK Covid-19 Inquiry, which will focus on Children and Young people's experiences during the height of the pandemic.
As Core Participants in the Inquiry, we are uniquely positioned to challenge the injustices that Clinically Vulnerable (CV) children and those in CV families faced - and continue to face. We are determined to hold those in power accountable, highlight systemic failures, and push for meaningful change that will protect and support our children both now and in the future.
This phase of the Inquiry is deeply personal to us. The experiences of children and their families during the early pandemic caused by systemic failings: lack of access to education and support, prolonged isolation, and immense pressure to stay safe in unsafe school environments - were the very reasons our organisation was founded. We are working to make sure their voices are heard, their stories are told, and their needs are never again overlooked.
As a consequence of our advocacy, children and young people from Clinically Vulnerable Families have already contributed to the 'Children and Young People's Voices' report (due to be published soon). One of our young members will share their personal experience in the impact videos that introduce the module, and their stories are deeply embedded throughout all of our submissions. Their voices will be heard and we hope that they will help to shape the national conversation. This is just the beginning...
Heartfelt thanks!
We are profoundly grateful for your generous contributions to our fundraiser supporting clinically vulnerable families. Your support has been instrumental in providing vital resources, advocacy, and community assistance to those facing significant health challenges.
We are working to establish a more direct payment method to enable one-off and recurring donations. In the meantime, our Crowdfunder page will remain active for continued support.
Your compassion and generosity make a real difference. As one of our community members, Stef May, shared:
"CVF have been doing incredible work for some of the most vulnerable in our society, myself included. Their awareness and advocacy has been key and their support is needed now more than ever."
Thank you for standing with us to create a safer, more inclusive future for all.
Please donate today and help to continue our work.
Open letter to the JCVI & UK Government
Please read our open letter, signed by many leading scientists & health care professionals, We urge them to reverse the decision denying Covid vaccines to millions of Clinically Vulnerable people who continue to qualify for 'flu vaccines based on risk.
We need an inclusive society in the face of ongoing Covid-19 and other airborne infections
While some may view the pandemic as a thing of the past, we, understand that the ongoing presence of Covid continues to pose risks. Life-changing decisions have been forced upon many of us, and tragically, lives continue to be lost.
At Clinically Vulnerable Families, we firmly believe that more can be done to ensure that everyone can 'learn to live with Covid', without leaving any section of society behind.
Our supportive community is growing, and we have a dedicated team of volunteers who are committed to working towards meaningful changes. We recognise the importance of creating an inclusive society that allows all vulnerable people and household members to safely access workplaces, healthcare, schools, and public spaces.
If you are affected by these issues, we invite you to join our vibrant social media community.
