By holding a play day at home and donating £2 each, you’re keeping vulnerable children safe and happy. Thank you.
The donations you raise at your Giant Wiggle helps us run more than 475 services in local communities across the UK. Thanks to people like you, we support 368,648 children, young people and their families each year. It’s through your support that we can look out for children and young people with a huge range of needs: from young carers to children with disabilities, those who are homeless and those who have suffered abuse.
3-year-old Stephen has complex needs which made it hard for him to communicate and his mum, Jenny, was too scared to leave him with anyone else.
Jenny says, "Sometimes it used to get really hard at home because Stephen would try and communicate with me, and I would have to try and guess what he wanted. It was really frustrating for him but for me it was really sad that he couldn’t tell me what he wanted.”
“Stephen had sensory issues – he didn’t like his hands getting messy. But after coming to the centre and watching the other children play, gradually he’s started to get involved in messy play. What’s really surprised me is that he likes to do the gardening with me. I get so excited to see him join in with me. For me, it’s huge progress.”
With 503 local services across the UK, in schools and online, we are supporting children in your local community. The money you raise helps to inspire hope and transform the lives of thousands of disadvantaged children each year.
