WHO ARE WE?

As a trusted charitable organisation founded in 2017, we, as two mums of children with life limiting conditions and profound disabilities found that we had no-where to turn for honest advice for products, medical issues, and found this journey utterly lonely and exhausting. So, after meeting through a Portage sensory group, we realised that we had something to offer other families and that's where our journey began. 

 

Over the years, we have strived to become a social, friendly, welcoming, slightly bonkers place for parent/carers to come and we can share our knowledge and contacts that we have built up over the years, and our main goal is to not only help create strong friendships for other parent/carers but for their children too. We have a passion for fundraising to give these families one-off experiences, filled with fun and laughter to make life-long memories, particularly as most of our children have a short life expectancy, so we believe we should cram in as many memories as possible, while our children are well enough to experience them!
