Sibs
(UK, 1145200) Browse events
YTD Raised: £565.08Why we support siblings There are 2.3 million siblings in the UK growing up with/have grown up with a brother or sister who is disabled, or has a long-term illness or life limiting condition. Young siblings Children and young people growing up with a disabled brother or sister get less attention from parents and have more worries and responsibilities than their peers. They are more likely than their peers to experience public prejudice, family breakdown, bereavement and poverty. As a consequence, young siblings are vulnerable to isolation, bullying, reduced wellbeing and problems with progress at school. Adult siblings Adult siblings, in particular those who have a brother or sister with a lifelong learning disability, provide support, advocacy and care for their brothers and sisters, at the same time as juggling support and care for their elderly parents, their own children, and their work. They rarely receive any acknowledgement of their role, information about service provision, or support for their own needs. They have also experienced a lifetime of their needs coming second to that of another person. As a consequence, adult siblings are vulnerable to isolation and are at risk for anxiety and depression, and have reduced opportunities for work and further education. How we support siblings How your money will help in 2014 We have started a major project to make sure young siblings are supported in schools. We need to raise £30,000 to make this happen. So far we have raised £6,000 towards this and need to raise a further £24,000. We would love you to help us by making a donation or doing a fundraising event. Monica McCaffrey Chief Executive, Sibs
