​Little Miracles is one of Peterborough’s best known charities and a true success story.

The charity was founded by Michelle King in 2010 inspired by her son Oliver who was born severely disabled.

Caring for Oliver, Michelle and her husband were left feeling isolated and alone.

So Michelle set up Little Miracles to ensure families that have children with additional needs, disabilities and life-limiting conditions could access the care and support they need.

The charity now has14 branches supporting thousands of children and their families. In 2013 the BBC DIY SOS team kitted out the Peterborough base, The Spinney, and Michelle hopes people who worked on the project will this year help celebrate the 10th anniversary of the programme.

The charity has had some famous visitors including former Prime Minister Liz Truss.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
