Little Miracles are pulling out all the stops to ensure children with additional needs and their families enjoy Christmas.
CEO Michelle King told the Peterborough Telegraph how the festive period is already in full swing at their landmark base, The Spinney.
Little Miracles' families spoke with Amir Suleman at BBC Radio Cambridgeshire about their experiences at The Spinney and the incredible ways in which they are supported as a family.
Thorney Lakes Golf Club presented Little Miracles with a cheque worth £3,067 at its centre in Ravensthorpe on November 2.
The golf club raised the money through fundraising events throughout the year – including auctioning off premium car parking spaces at the club, and making golfers donate if their balls land in ‘the captain’s lake’ on one of the holes on its course.
We are incredibly grateful to Pat Reidy and everyone at the club for raising such an amazing amount of money.

A charity is appealing for knitters to help them create blankets to keep disabled children warm this winter.
Staff at Little Miracles, based in Peterborough, said their families were worried about heating bills, as the cost of living crisis worsens.
Families of disabled children are worried that life support could turn off overnight if meters run out, turning off their heating and skipping meals to afford to feed their children, according to Little Miracles CEO.
The rising cost of living has affected everyone, but Michelle says the families associated with the charity – many of whom have children who require round-the-clock care and life support – have been “disproportionately affected” by the increasing price of energy bills and soaring rate of inflation.

With thanks to ITV Anglia for running this piece and allowing us to share it
So today I was lucky enough to meet with Rachel Reeves, Shadow Chancellor, and had the opportunity to explain how the cost of living is disproportionately affecting families with disabled children. No idea if it will make a difference but hopefully by getting our families and their stories in front of people in higher up positions will make a difference and bring about change. I am in awe of the brave families who shared their stories and let people into their lives.
