Cool2Care is a new and innovative Social Enterprise, supporting families with disabled children or young adults. It was founded in August 2007 by Phil Conway, the father of a disabled child who saw a need in the market for trained, flexible childcare, and since then it has grown to over 60 staff and now covers many areas across the UK.

Cool2Care is committed to providing the very best support for families with disabled children and young adults, enhancing their lives both in their homes and out in the community. Our care–workers are young, trained, confident and skilled, acting as friends or buddies to the people they look after. We support them in their roles both before and after placement and offer further training on specific skills if required.

We understand that employing a care-worker or personal assistant (PA) benefits the whole family - the child gets a friend to interact and play with while the parents get regular breaks and support with their caring roles.

Our service is now available in various areas across England, and we anticipate more offices opening in the near future. See the Contact page for further information.

Cool2Care trains, screens and CRB checks potential care-workers or buddies for families that need them. The company offers in-depth training courses across the UK that are open to applications from people from a variety of backgrounds – anyone who enjoys working with disabled children has the potential to be a care-worker.

Cool2Care is committed to supporting families with disabled children. We now offer Workforce Development Training and Volunteer Befriending projects in specific locations.

The company’s vision is 'To be the leading provider of one-to-one matching services for disabled young people and their families in the UK, incorporating trained volunteers, care-workers, personal assistants, befrienders, buddies, and professionals.'

Enquiries are welcome from any family with a disabled child, or from anyone interested in working with disabled young people.
