Jess and her family have been coming to Little Miracles for many years.

This week, for Children in Need 2023, Jess spoke to BBC Radio 2 about what the incredible support she gets from our charity means to them.

Children in Need currently fund one of our childcare team and we are extremely grateful to them for the ongoing support they have given to us over the last 10 years.

Listen to Jess' interview below and keep an ear out for her across the week on BBC Radio 2.

On the 15th October 2023, 15 brave souls laced-up their running shoes and competed in the Great Eastern Run, all while raising money for Little Miracles and the families we support who have children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions.

And what a day! The sun shone, the crowds were incredible and there was some wonderful feedback about the breathtaking views of the cathedral on the new route around the city.

Altogether our runners raised over £5,000, an amazing amount of money which will help us to be here for our families when they need us most. Click here to read the BBC Online report about the event which includes an interview with Stefano, one of our runners and families.

The Great Eastern Run is famously flat and fast and a great course for achieving a personal best, so if you fancy challenging yourself in 2024 and would like to sign-up to next year's half-marathon please click the link below.

Thank you again to our runners. You are all amazing! 

To mark Baby Loss Awareness Week and the wonderful opportunity it offers to give anyone touched by pregnancy and baby loss a safe and supportive space to share their experiences and feel that they are not alone, Lauren talks to us about how grief has affected her as a mum of three who has lost two children.

Ten brave fundraisers from Bakkavor Pizza in Holbeach took to the skies on September 17 to raise money for Little Miracles, the factory’s chosen charity of the year.

Ahead of the charity skydive, the ten courageous colleagues had smashed their goal of raising £1,000 – thanks to generous donations from colleagues, friends and family.

Sophia joined the Little Miracles fundraising team in January 2022. She had never organised an event before but she rose to the challenge and helped our incredible supporters raise more than £5,000 for families of children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions.

Here, Sophia gives us the inside scoop on her journey through organising her very first mass participation event, The Big Little Miracles Parachute Jump.

"As a newcomer to the world of fundraising and planner behind our parachute jump event, I'll confess that I felt a bit daunted initially. Nonetheless, there's an exhilarating sense of adventure in the prospect of not only learning the ropes but also crafting something special to support children with additional needs, disabilities, and life-limiting conditions.

The individuals who eagerly signed up for the parachute jump were motivated by a genuine desire to make a difference for disabled children or held a personal connection to our cause. It was genuinely heartwarming to discover that quite a few of them had been directly impacted by the challenges faced by siblings or children with disabilities.

Our dedicated fundraisers achieved a remarkable goal, raising an impressive sum of over £5,000. This contribution has the potential to create a substantial impact, ensuring that our childcare team can provide unwavering support throughout the autumn term. Their efforts offer a safe space for children who might struggle to find acceptance elsewhere.

The impact of these combined efforts is undeniably remarkable. In addition to their contributions, our jumpers demonstrated exceptional dedication by actively engaging in radio interviews and spreading the word of who Little Miracles are.

As we approached the end of our planning and marketing efforts, and our daring parachutists fell from the skies, I couldn't help but be overwhelmed by a profound sense of pride. It's crucial to emphasise that this achievement wasn't a solo act; it was a product of the dedication of these incredible fundraisers. Nonetheless, the experience of putting this event together and seeing the remarkable impact it had is a memory I'll never forget"
