- Description
Fledglings is a national charity for disabled children founded by Ruth Lingard MBE in 1998 with the help of volunteers and parents. The charity grew as a result of parents who cared for a disabled child wanting information about products and equipment which may help them to help their child.
Listening to the lived experience of parents and children over the years, we also now provide a range of information, advice and guidance and remain true to Ruth's original idea as we continue to provide products that would have the greatest positive impact on disabled children's lives.
We work across the UK, via a small staff team supported by a group of dedicated volunteers. In addition to the helpline, we provide tens of thousands of families and organisations with our mail order brochure and a regular e-newsletter. Please visit our e-shop for more information on our products.
"Whatever we do as an organisation we must always remember that an individual child must be our focus of attention. Whether it's a simple phone call enquiry or a more complex discussion about a potential new solution, we exist to make childrens lives better." Andrew Gardner – Chief Executive
