Annie Body formed the organisation in 2013 to help local families and their children. Today, 12 volunteers run the group. The group runs 5 sessions each week, helping 50 local children. The children join activities like painting, acting, singing and games. The sessions help children make new friends, gain confidence and learn new skills.
The funding will allow the group to increase to 7 sessions each week, reaching 70 children. The funding will also help the children’s parents through new peer support sessions. These sessions will help parents talk to people with similar experiences and build a support network.

“We’re delighted that Bury VCFA has recognised our work in this way. Thanks to Bury VCFA we can help more disabled children and their families. This helps them build relationships with others facing similar challenges. It'll also help them create their own supportive circles of friends and peers.”
