Contribute What You Can
Support for Families: Contribute What You Can
At Iris Support CIC, we believe every family deserves access to high‑quality SEND support without fear of cost being a barrier. To make this possible, we use a Contribute What You Can model.
This approach means:
- We publish the true cost of delivering each service
- Families contribute what feels manageable for them, this may be a portion of the cost, the full amount, or the full amount plus an extra donation to support another family.
- No one is asked to prove income or justify their circumstances
This keeps our work accessible, sustainable, and rooted in trust.

Why Donations Matter
Supporting Change, Not Just Crisis
