Whilst our team is small, we have a mighty impact in the North East...
Each and every one of our team members goes above and beyond in their roles to ensure we support as many local  babies, children and young adults living with disabilities and additional needs as possible each year. Our team has a wealth of experience from different sectors which enables us to offer the best service, care and guidance to our families and supporters.
