Blessing in Disguise Registered Children's Charity
Blessing in Disguise support young people who have additional needs, life-limiting illnesses and disabilities all over the UK but mainly in the North West.
Blessing in Disguise children's charity actively raises funds through events/activities and through the kind generosity of our donors, support from the community, local and national businesses to provide a range of essential and special needs equipment.
Such as:
- Special needs prams
- Walkers
- Sensory equipment
- Communication aids
- Planned activities
We improve young peoples the quality of life by promoting and providing social and recreational opportunities enabling the freedom to enjoy treasured memories to share with family and loved ones for terminally ill, disabled and disadvantaged children and young people.
We also support with household cleaning and personal hygiene products to assist families who are having to choose between heating, eating and switching vital disability equipment off due to the increasing energy prices.
We strive to build close partnerships with companies and other charities so we can all grow and enable disabled and disadvantaged children and young people to have the same chances and opportunities as everyone else.
