    Published 04/12/24, by Lauren Smith

    At Little Miracles Charity, we really appreciate the incredible generosity and community spirit shown by The Golden Pheasant Pub in Etton, Cambridgeshire. Their recent Beer Festival was not just a celebration of great drinks and good times but also an opportunity to make a meaningful difference—and they delivered in style!

    Thanks to their efforts and the amazing support from attendees, the event raised an astonishing £1,525.53! This significant donation will go directly towards supporting families of children with additional needs, disabilities, or life-limiting conditions.

    Every penny raised will help us to provide:

    • Support for families
    • Training opportunities for families, children and professionals
    • Activities and days out
    • Respite tailored to individual needs
    • Safe spaces for families to have fun and be themselves

    The funds raised will help make life just a little brighter for the children and families we support, whether it's through providing sensory equipment, running support groups, or simply giving families a chance to take a well-earned break.

    We cannot thank The Golden Pheasant Pub enough for their dedication, hard work, and community spirit. 

    To everyone who joined in, shared a pint, and donated generously—thank you.

    Cheers to making a difference, one pint at a time! 🍻

  • Delicious Ideas Food Group donate goody bags to our Great Eastern runners

    Published 16/10/24, by Lauren Smith

    For several years Delicious Ideas Food Group, a family-owned food and drink wholesaler, has been a valued supporter of ours. Their ongoing generosity has allowed us to provide vital food and drink to families of children with additional needs, disabilities, and life-limiting conditions—especially during these tough times, when the cost-of-living crisis is hitting many hard.

    Delicious Ideas’ regular donations of surplus stock has meant we can offer essentials to families who need them most. But their support goes beyond everyday items. This year they also provided goody bags for all our runners at the 2024 Great Eastern Run. Packed with energy-boosting treats, these goody bags brought a smile to every participant, giving them the fuel they needed to finish strong!

    "Thank you for your support and especially the generous goody bags—they are much appreciated!"

    "Best goody bags I’ve ever received!"

    "Just what I needed after a casual 13 miles!"

    We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who contributed to the success of the event, whether you were cheering from the sidelines, baking, donating or even woofing (yes, our four-legged friends were a huge hit!).  Together we raised nearly £10,000 for Little Miracles.

    Little Miracles Volunteer manager, Sarah Woodbine, says  "Donations from Delicious Ideas mean we can make a difference to our families’ lives. We not only use them at activities and events but regularly use them to feed our families at the centre. The donations mean we can provide a nutritious meal to our families and this means a lot to them and us”

    We look forward to working closely with Delicious Ideas in the future. Their ongoing generosity continues to help us make a real difference in the lives of families who need it most.
