Name of Organisation: Fledgelings
Headline: Helping children to spread their wings
What We Do: Fledglings is a national charity which aims to assist parents and carers of disabled children, or those with additional needs of any kind, by identifying, sourcing and supplying practical, affordable products to address every day issues.

Our approach is to focus on finding solutions to difficulties which arise as a consequence of the disability, rather than on the disability itself.

Services Offered: Fledglings can help by giving information and advice about products to help with your child’s specific development and learning needs or your needs as a carer. In addition we may be able to order and supply those items or refer you to another source of supply. We specialise in finding those unusual items which may not be easily available elsewhere or those designed specially for children with additional needs.

Who we can help Anyone who cares for children with special needs of any kind: parents, grandparents, childminders, foster carers, playgroup leaders, nursery nurses, after-school club leaders, health visitors, etc.
