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.
What we did:
With your help we have been able to help the special children & organisations below.

Eliza
These lovely words from Eliza’s mum which makes what we do worthwhile
"Thank you soo much.
This has really allowed Eliza a calm safe space to help her regulate when things get a little over whelming.
She loves everything we got and we will be forever grateful as a family.
Her bed sock helped her to sleep until 7:30am this morning and only two wake up’s during the night .. what a miracle !!
