🌈 Every mile is helping create little miracles. 💜

This year, Damien and Lisa are taking on an incredible series of running challenges to raise money for Little Miracles, including the Manchester Marathon, London Marathon and a 100km ultra marathon. That’s a lot of miles, a lot of training and no doubt a few tired legs along the way! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

But behind every mile is a reason.

They’re fundraising to help us continue supporting families of children and young people with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions, providing the support, activities, advice and safe spaces that families can rely on when they need us most. 💜

Damien and Lisa have already raised an incredible £2,260, with Gift Aid taking that even further. And every donation, however big or small, helps them get closer to their goal and helps us be there for more families. 🌈

So, if you’d like to support them on their journey, you can make a donation through their JustGiving page. You’ll be helping turn all those miles, blisters and early mornings into something that really matters. 💜

A huge thank you to Damien and Lisa for choosing to run for Little Miracles, we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way! 🌈🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Today, we wrapped up our summer holiday activities at The Spinney with an amazing Animal Experience Day!

We had the most wonderful animals visit, including snakes, lizards, geckos, meerkats and more! The children (and grown-ups too!) had the opportunity to get up close, learn all about the animals, ask questions and even interact with some of them. There were plenty of smiles, excitement and a few brave faces along the way! 😍

It really was the perfect way to end the summer holidays.💚

Thank you Yarwell Mill Community Page for sponsoring this event. With your help we've been able to create a special experience for local families of children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions. Your generosity really has made a difference.

🌈 Could you be the person a family needs on a difficult day?

We’re looking for a Family Support Volunteer to join our team and help us be there for families of children and young people with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions.

Sometimes, support starts with something as simple as having someone who really listens. 💜

You could offer a listening ear, practical support, help a family find the right services, or simply spend time with a parent or carer who may be feeling isolated. It’s about building trust, being non-judgemental and helping families feel that they don’t have to figure everything out on their own.

We’re particularly looking for someone who understands the SEND pathway in their local area and has experience as a parent, grandparent or carer. You’ll receive training, an induction and ongoing support from our team, so you won’t be doing it alone.

If you’re a good listener, have a little time to give regularly and would love to use your experience to make a real difference to a family, we’d love to hear from you. 🌈

📩 Email: [email protected]
📞 Call: 01733 262226

Please share this with someone who might be a great fit for our Little Miracles team. 💜

🌈 Fancy taking on a challenge for ?

You don’t have to run a marathon or climb a mountain (unless you really want to! 😅).

With our Choose Your Own Challenge, you can pick something that means something to you - whether that’s smashing a fitness goal, ticking something off your bucket list, trying something completely new, or reaching a personal milestone.

And whatever you choose, you’ll be helping raise money for families of children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions. 💜

Maybe you’ve always wanted to do a sponsored swim, take on a muddy obstacle course, cycle somewhere new, learn a new skill or do something that scares you a little bit.

Your challenge, your way. 🌈

Already have an idea? We’d love to hear about it. And if you’re not quite sure where to start, our fundraising team can help you plan it.

🌈 Fancy being our next Big Little Lottery winner? 🍀

For just £2 a month, you could be in with a chance of winning £75, while helping Little Miracles support families of children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions. 💜

That £2 might not feel like much, but when lots of people join, it really adds up. It helps us be there for families who might need somewhere to go, someone to talk to, or simply a place where they feel understood and welcome.

And there’s something rather lovely about knowing that while you’re checking your numbers each month, you’re also helping families of children with additional needs, disabiites and life-limiting conditions in our Little Miracles community. 🌈

So why not give it a go? You might just get a little surprise in your bank account too! 👀💷

🌈 Applying for DLA can feel like a lot, but you don’t have to work it all out on your own.

The DLA form is long, detailed and can be difficult to know how to answer, especially when you’re being asked to describe some of the hardest parts of your child’s day.

At Little Miracles, we understand. Our team has supported hundreds of families through the DLA process, and we’ve created a free DLA Guide to help make things feel a little clearer and more manageable. 💜

Our guide takes you through the form step-by-step, with practical advice on explaining your child’s needs, gathering evidence and preparing your application.

And if you need a little more support, our Family Support team can also help you work through the form or look over your answers before you submit it.

We're here to support families of children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions, you’re not alone in this. 🌈

👉 Find our DLA Guide and request your copy: https://www.littlemiraclescharity.org.uk/gethelp/dla

Sometimes, having somewhere you can go where people understand really matters. 💜

For Ibrahim and his family, Little Miracles has become a place where they feel safe, happy and part of a community. 🌈

For families of children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions, there can be days that are difficult and exhausting. Having somewhere to go, people to talk to and other families who understand can make those days feel a little less lonely. 💛

Ibrahim’s story is a lovely reminder of why having that community around you matters. 🌈💜
