Local solicitors firm Fraser Dawbarns has chosen Little Miracles as its new charity of the year.

With offices in Ely, Littleport, Chatteris, Wisbech and March, the charity helps families who have children with additional needs, disabilities, and life-limiting conditions.

Little Miracles offers a range of different types of support to those who use its services, the majority of which need to be funded by charitable donations.

These include:

  • providing accessible messy play sessions for disabled children
  • enabling groups of children on life support to go to the seaside
  • providing an animal experience day for children with complex needs
  • organising a bowling party for children who have recently lost a sibling
  • providing counselling for bereaved parents.

Iain Grimes, Fraser Dawbarns’ managing partner, said: “Little Miracles provides fantastic support for local families and they take over from the Road Victims Trust as our chosen charity as we move into our new financial year.

“We will be endeavouring to raise funds for them in a variety of different ways, including through our annual charity golf day which takes place in June and a charity quiz which we are planning for early autumn.”

Louise Evans, head of income generation at Little Miracles, said: “We are delighted to welcome Fraser Dawbarns as charity of the year partners.

“Having a child with a disability or life-limiting condition can be a very lonely, scary journey and Little Miracles exists to ensure that no one has to go through it alone.

“We provide support, training, activities, respite, and safe spaces where families can get the help they need in a non-judgemental environment and the children can enjoy the childhood they deserve.

“Little Miracles supported around 40,000 people last year.

“We rely almost entirely on voluntary donations, and we simply could not be the charity we are without the amazing support of companies like Fraser Dawbarns.

“We look forward to working closely together and seeing the difference their support makes to local families of children with additional needs, disabilities, and life-limiting conditions.”
