"It is sometimes difficult for Fledglings to attract funding, perhaps because it does not seem as 'glamorous' as some charities and the trading aspect blurs the definition in peoples' minds....surely if they're selling stuff, they're a business not a charity, right? But all of the small profit Fledglings makes on some products, (on many they make no profit at all), goes straight back into the charity, helping to pay for research into problems raised by parents, or persuading manufacturers to make a new product that children need."

Lucy is a little girl with chronic juvenile arthritis who loved to draw until the pain when holding a pencil became too great. Lucy's mother contacted us to ask if we could help. After much discussion and careful searching we found two different types of crayon which were easier for Lucy to hold. She started drawing again and sent us this lovely picture to thank us.
