  • Happy 10th Birthday, Little Miracles St Neots!

    Published 16/04/25, by Lauren Smith

    Time really does fly when you're making a difference! On Saturday 12th April, the Little Miracles St Neots Branch threw the ultimate birthday bash to celebrate 10 amazing years of supporting families in our community—and what a party it was!

    Let’s rewind a little…

    Back on 10th April 2015, we held our very first event at Eat n Bowl with over 50 wonderful people joining us. Since that day, we’ve grown into a thriving hub for local families, running all sorts of fun activities and offering support in every way we can. From trips to the Sealife Centre and chilled-out picnics to tie-dye crafts and legendary Christmas parties, it’s been a joyful, jam-packed decade.

    And when times got tough during COVID, we didn’t skip a beat. We got creative with online sessions, delivered activity packs to doorsteps, and even organised Santa visits—right to families' front doors. 

    The Big Birthday Party...
    This year’s celebration was one to remember. DJ Alex (a proud member of one of our families!) kept the vibes high with music, while kids got stuck into all sorts of fun—think bouncy castles, messy play with shaving foam, LEGO towers, glitter tattoos, arts and crafts, and decorating the most delicious cupcakes and biscuits.

    We also had a bit of magic—literally! JJ from Magic Touch had everyone in awe with his spellbinding tricks. And no birthday party is complete without food, right? We finished the day with tasty party snacks and a stunning rainbow cake from Jennie’s Cakes & Catering. Yum!

    And just when you thought it couldn’t get any sweeter—every child went home with an Easter egg, generously donated by Tesco’s Community Champions, Hotel Chocolat, and Skanska. Thank you so much for your kindness and support!

    💛 Why We Do What We Do
    Little Miracles supports families who have children with additional needs, disabilities, and life-limiting conditions. With 18 branches (and growing!), we offer everything from emotional support and advice to practical help like filling out DLA/PIP forms, fun family events, and peer connection. You can find out more about how we help here.

    ✨ And here’s what some of our lovely families had to say about the celebration:

    “We had a fantastic time! Thank you so much x” – Ellen
    “We both had a lovely time, thank you x” – Sara
    “We had a great time – thank you very much! xx” – Kim

    From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who has supported us, celebrated with us, or been part of our journey over the last 10 years. Here’s to the next 10 and beyond.
