“I love Super Siblings!”
“I wish Super Siblings was on every day”
“Its amazing and fun”
“Sophie is the best teacher ever”
“Super Siblings is so much fun”
“I absolutely love Super Siblings Thursdays!”
“FANTASTIC!”
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.
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”
“A club that notices the difficulties that the siblings go through. Something that many people over look. You have boosted my childs confidence and has an environment where everyone gets it. Truly blessed that my child is apart of this”
“Absolutely brilliant, Sophie and the team are all amazing!”
“Incredible, my son loves the sessions”
“Absolutely amazing, the staff are wonderful”
“My son loves Super Siblings. He looks forward to it every week. He loves that they have a different theme/activity each week. The group is fun, engaging and everything he needs. The experience so far has been outstanding!”
“I have two boys that attend Super Siblings, one attends the younger group and the other attends the older group sessions. They both really look forward to it and seem to be enjoying their experience thus far.”
“Really positive. When I spoke to Sophie about something that was bothering my daughter, she was able to take this on board and have a chat with her”
“AMAZING! Can not fault them in any way. My 10 year old loves coming to Super Siblings”
“Its been really good, my daughter really seems to like going to her group sessions which is great. She is 14 so its hard trying to find things that she enjoys going to and taking part in”
“Amazing. The Super Siblings team and organisers are brilliant in every way possible. My son absolutely loves the sessions.”
“Fantastic. My Daughter Charlotte has been made to feel safe, comfortable, confident, happy and secure (which she isnt at school) having some time away from the family thats fun and for her “
“Amazing, my daughter loves going there and enjoying all the different activities.”

“Its great for my daughter, she has more confidence already and new friends.”
“My child always comes home from sessions happy. Its good to know there are other children who have siblings with disabilities.”
“Such a valuable service”
“My child is benefiting from the group hugely as he has something that is just for him and he gets to talk to children who live a similar life and thats reassuring for him to know that he is not alone.”
“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.
