Little Hiccups case study

Who are your charity and what you do? What impact has been made with the funds raised?

Little Hiccups is a Leeds based, award winning support group that has been set up by parents who have children with additional needs and disabilities.

It is through personal experience we recognise the importance of allowing parents and families of a child with an additional needs/disability the opportunity to meet people in similar situations, to make friends and support each other. Little Hiccups can support families that have a child(ren) under 16 with additional needs or a disability.

With the funds raised from Give As You Live, we have been able to support the journey that our families are making. We also recognise the importance of sharing the events of that journey with other people in similar situations. We offer a range of support from our Outreach Programme for those families that are just not quite ready to come to one of our sessions. But for those that are, we offer support a variety of support from Stay n Play to monthly Family Fun Days.
