On July 5th, St Ivo Academy held an event for their students over lunch to have fun and raise money for two charities, Little Miracles, and Young Minds. The students picked Little Miracles as one of their chosen charities as they wanted to help children in their local community of St Ives, and the opening of a new branch in the area. In addition, the academies House System is also made up of bright colours similar to the Little Miracles rainbow logo!

 On Friday 12th July, Agentis Financial & Mortgage Solutions Ltd held their second annual Golf Day in aid of Little Miracles and raised an absolutely incredible £4,343.64!

The rain held-off and 74 golfers enjoyed a brilliant day's golf, putting competitions and other brilliant fundraising initiatives, followed by a well-earned meal and drinks at a local pub.

David Mortell, Managing Director at Agentis Financial & Mortgage Solutions Ltd and organiser of the event, said -

"For two years running we’ve been able to help support local families with the money raised by the charity golf days. We chose Little Miracles as we believe the money will directly benefit families and help have a real positive impact at such a difficult time"

Over the summer holidays our centre in Peterborough is expected to welcome more than 1,700 people, all of whom are families of children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions.

Many of our families struggle financially, physically and emotionally to access activities in the community over this period, but with the help of incredible organisations like Agentis we are able to put-on a full programme of inclusive actives where families can make memories and get the support they need.

Luke Steele, Manager of Peterborough Sports FC, who played as art of a team from the club, said -

"Thank you so much for a brilliant, brilliant golf day. A fantastic day for a fantastic charity. We will definitely be taking part again next year"

Enormous thanks to David Mortell from Agentis, and to Christine and the team for their help on the day. We simply couldn't be the charity we are without this kind of amazing local support.

See you next year!

Huge congratulations to this year's winners Matt Hill, Jake Barnes, Bevis Swales and David Phillmore

In the heart of our community lies a partnership that has been making a profound difference to countless families of children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions. 

Delicious Ideas Food Group, a dedicated family-owned food and drink wholesaler, has been a supporter of Little Miracles Charity for several years. Their regular donations of surplus stock have meant we can continue to provide essentials for families who might be struggling with the cost-of-living crisis. May half-term saw Little Miracles welcome more than 400 people, the majority of whom enjoyed food provided by Delicious Ideas. 

The contributions from Delicious Ideas Food Group have allowed us to keep our food bank well-stocked, ensuring that we can meet the needs of families who rely on us. Each donation brings a sense of relief, knowing that we will continue to support those who might otherwise go hungry. 

Little Miracles also provides food parcels which help our families stretch their budgets, reduce their stress, and provide healthy meals for their children. The feedback from parents and children are testament to the difference these donations make.

One family recently said "I'd like to say a big thank you to everyone at Little Miracles that helped me and my family out with food parcels. It was a massive help to us. The food was great, nothing has gone to waste here". 

The support from Delicious Ideas Food Group has been a beacon of hope for many families in our community. Their generosity has made a tangible difference, and we are extremely thankful for their ongoing partnership. 

Thank you, Delicious Ideas! 

In the run-up to the election our CEO, Michelle King, spoke to BBC Radio Cambridgeshire on Monday about the concerns we have at Little Miracles Charity for the future health and well-being of children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions in the UK.

It is believed that 24% of the UK population have a disability (UK disability statistics: Prevalence and life experiences). The challenges that face nearly quarter of our population affect almost every area of life and often it is down to smaller charities like Little Miracles to fill in the gaps left by the government. We pick-up the pieces but receive almost no support or funding. 

From the 3rd to the 9th June Little Miracles Charity are celebrating Volunteers' Week and saying an enormous thank you to those incredible people who give their time to help us on a regular basis.
