The first years should be full of firsts…

For most children, the early years are filled with first steps, first words and first smiles. For children with a disability, even these simple milestones can feel out of reach.

Without access to the right therapies and support, children can struggle to sit, crawl or communicate. Their families feel overwhelmed, isolated and can be unsure where to turn.

With your help, we can change that. Together, we can give these children the chance to grow, play and thrive – one step at a time.

Meet the children you’re helping

Coming here, I’ve seen so many changes in so many children. I’ve met some amazing people here and everything has been so good for Otis. It’s changed our lives massively.

– Otis’ mum, Kayleigh

Born prematurely at 25 weeks, Otis was diagnosed with quadriplegic cerebral palsy, affecting all four of his limbs. In his time at DVLCC, Otis has achieved more than his parents ever dreamt possible.
