A huge shoutout to the amazing staff for making the experience accessible and truly magical for all our Little Hiccups families.

💜 “That was the best morning ever.”
For one family, going out used to feel impossible—full of anxiety and fear of judgement.
Our Fun Days change that. They create safe spaces for families to make memories and build confidence.

🎄✨ Our festive wreath-making evening was pure magic! Parent carers created stunning 12" moss-based wreaths in the cosy glow of the greenhouse — with fizz, warm drinks & plenty of cheer.

Our Halloween Musical Theatre Workshop was pure magic at Brigshaw School! 🧙‍♀️✨

The kids danced, acted, imagined, and created their own mini production inspired by Harry Potter.

💬 “We loved today, really lifted us all up… thank you all!”
