Peterborough firm helps children with disabilities

JS Davidson, based in Peterborough, supported the Little Miracles charity throughout the summer.

The firm provided 60 boxes of KellyDeli ice creams each day for the children and their families to enjoy during planned activities.

JS Davidson also raised £700 from their customers to fund a special cinema screening of Inside Out 2, exclusively for Little Miracles families.

Louise Evans, head of income generation at Little Miracles, said the ice creams were a welcome treat during the hot weather.

Speaking about the cinema screening, she said: "The families had the cinema to themselves so they didn’t have to worry about their children in terms of noise during the film.

"They could just be themselves and have fun.

“Also usually in a cinema trip children in wheelchairs have a designated area away from their families, but by having the screening to ourselves it allowed us to sit the families together – even if their child was in a wheelchair – which was excellent as we want our families and children to have nice experiences together and make lots of memories – it’s the ethos of Little Miracles.”

The support from JS Davidson benefited up to 3,000 children and their families who use Little Miracles’ Peterborough centre.

John Davidson, managing director of JS Davidson, said: “We have built an excellent relationship with Little Miracles since the first lockdown over four years ago and we are delighted to continue supporting the team who work tirelessly to help not just the children and young people in their care but also their families."

Founded in 2010, Little Miracles offers a range of services including activities, training, counselling, advice and safe spaces for families from its 18 branches spanning the whole of East Anglia.
