How we make a difference
Through community action, dedicated fundraising, and education, we advocate for every child to be seen, heard, and valued.
Understanding PVL
Periventricular Leukomalacia is a life-changing brain injury. We provide accessible information so families learn about PVL through awareness, not tragedy.
Supporting children's hospitals
We actively raise funds for Alder Hey Children's Charity and Royal Manchester Children's Hospital to ensure world-class care for children with additional needs.
Community events and challenges
From climbing Snowdon to local fundraising days, our community events bring people together to amplify the voices of disabled children.
Get involved and help
Whether you choose to donate, participate in a sponsored event, or share our mission, your support changes lives across the UK.
“We don’t want people to know about PVL because tragedy introduced it to their family. We want them to know because awareness got there first.”
