Why Donate to Little Miracles?

There are many charities you can donate to, but Little Miracles provides something truly special. Every donation helps support families at their most vulnerable moments and delivers real, visible impact within the local community.

We support the whole family

When a child has additional needs, disabilities or a life-limiting condition, the impact is felt by the entire family. Little Miracles supports not just the child, but parents and siblings too. From emotional wellbeing to practical guidance, families receive personalised support that helps them cope, connect and move forward together.

We specialise in additional needs and disabilities

Our team works every day with children who have complex needs, disabilities and serious medical conditions. This specialist experience means families receive support from people who genuinely understand their challenges, not from a one-size-fits-all service. Your donation helps fund this tailored care.

We provide safe and inclusive play

Play is vital for every child, but many children with additional needs are excluded from or find it difficult to access mainstream activities. Little Miracles creates safe, inclusive spaces, free of judgement, where children can explore, build confidence and simply be children. These sessions are carefully designed to meet sensory and physical needs in a supportive environment.

We offer practical and emotional help

Families often face overwhelming pressure when navigating benefits, SEND support, schooling and healthcare. Little Miracles provides vital practical guidance alongside counselling and emotional support. Your donation helps families feel less alone and more able to cope during extremely challenging times.

We are a local charity

Little Miracles is rooted in the local community. Your donation directly supports children and families near you, helping ensure care, support and activities remain accessible for those who need them most. The impact of your generosity stays close to home.

Recognised for our impact

Little Miracles has featured on national television including BBC News and ITV, alongside regular coverage in the local press. This recognition reflects the importance of the work being done and the real difference being made to families every single day.
