  • Michelle meets the Shadow Chancellor

    Published 05/10/22, by Louise Evans

    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.

  • Thank You Odiri Tax Consultants And Accountants

    Published 21/07/21, by Michelle King

    Odiri Tax Consultants & Accountants have given a therapeutic lifeline to disabled children in Peterborough and beyond thanks to their amazing Team 500KM Walk Challenge For Disabled Children. In the months of June and July 2021, the team has managed to raise an incredible £3048 and they're not done yet - they're coming into the final two weeks of their challenge and they need your support to meet their £5000 target. This generous donation will pay for over 300 one to one play sessions for children like Libby.

    Libby has Bohring Optiz Syndrome, a rare condition that affects the individual's growth and development. Libby’s mum, Kirsty, told us: “Both Libby & myself enjoyed our one to one play sessions at Little miracles. We felt relaxed, safe & at ease which was a huge relief after so long shielding & worrying about COVID. A fantastic range of play suited specifically for Libby’s needs, sensory stories, messy play, music & singing & our personal favourite sensory massage. I learned so many new techniques & skills to enable me to engage more with Libby when playing together. Exploring with the sensory stories was amazing, seeing Libby react in even the smallest of ways was such a joy & the excitement but also calmness in her expressions during sensory massage was heartwarming.”
