Supporting families that have children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions
Here at New Home Snagging Ltd it is important for us to give back to the local community. We support local small businesses by recommending the best companies to our loyal customers. We are also proud ambassadors of the Little Miracles Charity.
Little Miracles exists to ensure families that have children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions can access the care and support they need and connect with each other in confidence and without judgement.
They started back in 2010 with the belief that no family should have to feel alone. From very humble beginnings as a drop-in support group they have grown into a network of 14 branches supporting thousands of children and their families.
Their Childcare Teams, Family Support Workers and Counsellors provide activities, training, advice and safe-spaces to the whole family even before they receive a formal diagnosis. This includes everyone - the children, their parents, carers and siblings.
