Freddie's
Friends

In memory of Freddie Appleyard.
A website to help disabled children and their families.

What we do

We set up Freddie's Friends in 2008 in memory of our lovely son. In the years since, with the help of our wonderful fundraisers, donors and sponsors, Freddie's have been able to provide specialist equipment, support and respite for disabled children and their families.

2020-2021

Activities were limited by Covid restrictions.


  • Michaela, Harry, Kaitlin, Mackenzie, Nico and Orla

    Michaela, Harry, Kaitlin, Mackenzie, Nico and Orla have been awards funds towards the cost of Sensory Integration Therapy Assessment. This therapy supports the children with their many complex needs and is a great help for their families.

  • Oscar

    Oscar who has a complex heart problem has been awarded funds towards a much needed specialist bed and mattress. Hopefully Oscar will get that much needed rest he deserves.

  • Harrison

    Harrison has Microdeletion Syndrome and has been awarded funds for a specialist Rabo Maxi Scooter and sensory equipment.

    2020: Matei who has Cerebral Palsy

    Matei

    Freddie’s friends funded a light projector for Matei who has Cerebral Palsy. As you can see Matei will get many hours pleasure and enjoyment from it. We think you look brilliant in your cool shades at your own personal bedroom disco Matei.
