✨ Our Firefly Fund is now open for wishes✨

The Firefly Fund was created to bring little moments of light, comfort, support and happiness to SEN families within our community. From practical help and sensory items, to special experiences, toys, confidence boosts or something that simply makes life feel a little easier. Each month, one wish will be lovingly chosen and fulfilled. You can resubmit your wish, or a new one each month.

If there’s something that would make a difference to your child or family, we would love to hear from you.

To share a wish with us, please email:

[email protected]

We’ll be accepting wishes until 31st May for our June fund. We will then let you know once it opens again for the following month.

Every message will be treated with kindness, sensitivity and confidentiality.

ABUK Firefly Fund - Launching Soon

We are so happy to introduce ABUK’s Firefly Fund, a project created to bring little moments of light, comfort, support and happiness to SEN families within our community…sometimes the smallest act of kindness can make a big difference 🫶🏻

Each month, families will be invited to share a little wish with us.

This could be absolutely anything that would make life a little easier, brighter or more joyful for their child or family.

A practical pair of school shoes.

A sensory item.

Help with something at home.

Helpful equipment.

A special day out.

A confidence boost.

A memory-making moment.

Something small. Something big. Something meaningful.

Every month, one wish will be lovingly chosen and fulfilled through the Firefly Fund.

Families will be able to submit their wishes privately, and all submissions will be treated with kindness, sensitivity and confidentiality. Recipients are always free to share their story, or keep their moment just for themselves.

More details on the official launch date, how families can submit their wish, and how supporters can get involved will be shared soon.

✨ Why Fireflies?

Fireflies may be tiny, but they shine brightly.

To us, they represent hope, comfort, kindness and little moments of magic…the little lights that help guide people through difficult times. That feels a lot like our community. Families supporting families. People showing up for one another. Small acts of kindness creating huge moments of joy.

Because sometimes, all it takes is one little light to remind somebody that they are not alone.

Local businesses, companies, organisations, families and kind hearted individuals will also have the opportunity to sponsor or fulfil a Firefly wish should they wish to become part of the project.

Whether it’s funding a family experience, purchasing an item directly, or simply helping us spread a little kindness, every contribution helps another family feel seen, supported and valued.

If you or your company would like to support the Firefly Fund by sponsoring a wish, we would absolutely love to hear from you.

We are so proud to be launching the Firefly Fund as we begin bridging into ABUK’s next chapter, a chapter Built on Belonging ☺️
