Little Miracles was given the funding by Home Bargains, as they opened their new store on Bourges Boulevard on Saturday.

The store is on the former site of Toys R Us, which was destroyed by fire.

Emily Sibthorpe from Little Miracles said: “At Little Miracles, we are extremely grateful for this donation. We will be using it to provide sessions over half term to the families we support, making resource packs that will then allow them to participate in sessions every day including sensory play, art, cooking, dance and so much more.”

Little Miracles currently supports around 10,000 children in East Anglia, and its activities and Family Support Workers provide a lifeline to the families and their children.
