Little Miracles

Little Miracles is a charity that supports families that have children with additional needs, disabilities and life limiting conditions. Just like everyone else these children need a place to play, laugh and create friendships – Little Miracles provides this whilst the families are able to access the advice, support and care that they deserve.

In the UK, there are 800,000 disabled children under the age of 16 – this is approximately one child in every twenty yet the majority of families that we work with report feeling like they are alone in their journey.

Little Miracles exists to reduce this isolation and to ensure that families get the support that they need in order to support their families fully.  Our activities and Family Support Workers provide a lifeline to the families and their children with the varied support that we are able to offer.  

We support the whole family including parents, carers, the child with additional needs as well as the siblings and any family can receive support even before they receive the formal diagnosis.

Never be afraid to ask for help 

If you have a child with additional needs it can be hard and it is okay to recognise that.

People often genuinely want to help but often do not know what to do or what to say what the families we work with have told us is that it is important to accept offers of help but also to let people know what they can do to help you.  

From a practical point of view there may be benefits that you are entitled to and you can visit www.gov.uk to find out more about these or speak to one of our Family Support Workers who will be able to help you in finding out what you are entitled to both financially and also about other charities and organisations that can help as well as making the relevant applications with you.
