Sibs is the only UK charity for children and adults who are growing up with or have grown up with a disabled brother or sister.
YOUNG SIBLINGS
Children and young people growing up with a disabled brother or sister often get less attention from parents and have more worries and responsibilities than their peers. Many young siblings experience daily challenges in their lives such as public prejudice and finding it hard to get schoolwork done. They also need recognition for the positive aspects of their family lives, such as learning new skills and being supportive of their brother's or sister's needs.
