Super siblings give us a nice time and time away from tricky times at home. Scarlett says people there understand and that is a good feeling.
Sessions take place fortnightly in Crawley on Mondays. We split the children into 3 groups. The 6-8yrs and 9-11yrs groups run at the same time, with the 12-16yrs on the alternate weeks.
The children’s wants and needs drive our sessions. We ask the children what they would like to gain from attending our sessions and what they can’t usually do or feel they miss out on due to having a disabled sibling and then we try our best to make that happen.Â
This can be as simple as playing a game, having a chat or playing loud music. Regular activities include arts and crafts, baking, cooking, teaching life skills and science experiments. We also organise trips out to the cinema, restaurants, bowling alleys and other places that siblings may not be able to cope with.
Our sessions are all about having fun and creating memorable experiences for the children.
“Its a truly fabulous organisation assisting siblings of children with additional needs. Its a one of kind charity that is changing lives of local children, giving them some all-important recognition for all they do for their siblings, along side other children in a similar situation to them that they may not have ever met if it wasn’t for this fantastic, supportive group.”
“Sophie and her team are just incredible! Always thinking about the children and how best to make them smile. Daisy loves going to he group every Thursday and seeing her extended family! We love you! xx”

“AMAZING! Can not fault them in any way. My 10 year old loves coming to Super Siblings”

“My son Oliver loves being able to mix with the other children whom of which go through similar challenges at home. To enjoy some of his very own down time have fun, doing fab activities with people hes become incredibly fond of.”
“Gaining confidence , having fun and doing all the different and fun activities that they are usually unable to do due to busy routines.”
“Socila and personal development including recognising thier own self worth as individuals as well as realising how important they are to their siblings in their own uniqueness and at the same time learning that every family has its differences and thats ok!”
“Its a chance for my son to spend time with other children in similar situations to him. He already has a greater understanding of his younger brothers condition and has more patience with him.”
Super Siblings is a safe space that my step son attends fortnightly, he can relate to and socialise with others who are going through a similar situation and that been a great support for his mental health.

It’s so nice for her to be in a space with other children going through the same as her. She come out of the session feeling so much recognition that she isn’t the only one feeling how she feels.Â
