We have an incredible team of staff, volunteers and trustees that work tirelessly to ensure that we can be here for families whenever and however they need us.
Hello! I am Vicky, a volunteer at the Nottinghamshire Branch. I have been volunteering for around six months now, but I've been attending Little Miracles events since last Easter, and really feel like I've found our tribe.
Hello!
I am Lauren, a fundraiser and family of Little Miracles. I am Mum to Ava, the cheekiest 8 year old you will ever meet, and Elouise and Theo, my two beautiful babies who are sadly no longer here with us.
Little Miracles first supported me 8 years ago when my daughter Ava was born. You can read more about my family and how Little Miracles have supported us here, if you wish!
Having an employer who understands, appreciates, and accommodates my personal situation means that I am able to work. Little Miralces fully comprehend and embrace the fact that my child's well-being and needs always come first. This understanding and support are the reasons why I never want to leave! Fundraising is my way of giving back, as helping other families like mine means everything to me. Little Miracles has been my guiding light, pulling me out of dark places, and I want to ensure that no other family ever feels alone or helpless.
I look forward to connecting with you all!

One of the aspects I truly appreciate about my role is the diversity it offers. Each day brings forth a unique set of challenges, keeping things exciting and dynamic. Moreover, I take great pleasure in assisting and supporting the families we serve. Building connections, understanding their journeys, and constantly expanding my knowledge base are all aspects that bring me immense satisfaction.
My personal experiences as a parent to a child facing medical and developmental challenges have been instrumental in shaping my career path within the SEND profession. It is through my own journey that I developed a deep desire to support families during these trying times. Little Miracles provides me with a platform to make a meaningful impact and be there for others facing similar challenges.

Hello, I'm Mick, and I have had the privilege of being a part of the Little Miracles family for three years, working as the Head of Families.
One of the most rewarding aspects of my role is witnessing the genuine joy, laughter, and sense of accomplishment radiating from our families and young people. Their smiles and the happiness they experience in reaching their goals truly make my job fulfilling.
My journey with Little Miracles began with a simple yet profound purpose: to support young people with disabilities in accessing workshops and activities. I started by volunteering at local youth clubs, dedicating my time to ensuring that these individuals had the opportunity to participate and enjoy enriching experiences. It is this desire to make a positive impact on their lives that led me to become a part of the incredible Little Miracles team.
Hi, I’m Sam, and I’m the Peterborough Centre Manager, sharing the role with Sasha. I’ve been part of Little Miracles for four years now, and it’s been such an incredible journey.
I first joined Little Miracles when I applied for a youth worker role. It just looked like a really fun place to work! I quickly realised it was so much more than that. I loved the role so much that I went on to complete a youth work apprenticeship, followed by further education in youth work. During that time, I progressed into a management role, which has been an amazing opportunity for me to grow.
My inspiration to become a youth worker actually comes from my grandmother, who worked with young people. Seeing the difference she made really motivated me to follow a similar path and support children and families in a meaningful way.
I still remember arriving for my interview at Little Miracles and being greeted so warmly by everyone. The team was vibrant, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what they do, and I knew straight away that it was the right place for me.
What I enjoy most about working here is definitely the people. I love working alongside such a supportive team, and I really enjoy getting to know the families and children who come to the centre. One of my favourite parts of the role is planning exciting activities and opportunities, helping to create fun, lasting memories for the children.
Since joining, I’ve made so many cherished memories, and I feel really proud to be part of a team that supports such wonderful families every day.

Hello, I'm Jack, and I proudly serve as the Trusts and Foundations Manager at Little Miracles.
My journey with Little Miracles began through a business apprenticeship, right after the DIY SOS team constructed a remarkable state-of-the-art play centre.
What brings me the greatest joy is witnessing the tangible benefits that parents and children experience through their involvement with Little Miracles. As a fundraiser and grant writer, it is immensely gratifying to see the funds I raise directly contribute to the well-being of these families, some of whom I have known for years. Knowing that I played a part in making these opportunities possible fills me with a sense of fulfilment.
In addition to the rewarding aspects of my role, I've had the opportunity to partake in exciting endeavours such as the Three Peaks challenge, the London Marathon, and even a Skydive. I've also had the privilege of being featured on TV and radio, and I've had the pleasure of meeting remarkable individuals who share the same passion for our cause. It's truly an enriching experience to be surrounded by such passionate and dedicated people.
