We need your help
Sibs is the only UK charity dedicated to supporting siblings of disabled children and adults. As a small organisation, we’re incredibly grateful to the volunteers and supporters who make our work possible. There are many ways to get involved - thank you for whatever time or resources you can offer.

“With Sibs I feel like I have people who are there for me.” Young sibling
Turn your energy into impact
- Do something fun. From a fancy dress 5k to a sponsored dance-a-thon with the kids, every fundraiser makes a difference. You can set up a page on JustGiving. Please let us know so we can thank you personally.
- Declutter and donate. If sponsored events aren’t your thing, you can still raise funds by selling bits and pieces. Have a clear out and list your finds on Vinted, eBay or Facebook Marketplace.
- Print and share our leaflet. Siblings are everywhere, and yet often overlooked. Please share our leaflet in your local community: schools, workplaces, cafés, GP surgeries, hospitals, faith groups and more.
“It’s not often you can say that the support someone gave you was life changing, but it really was, we have been able to give our son the best start in life. Thank you so much!” Parent of a young sibling
Share your expertise
- Join our volunteer reader panel. If you have an eye for detail and want to help improve our website and resources, we’d love your help. We welcome parents, professionals and adult siblings to review our content a few times a year. Find out more and sign up
- Share your story. Your sibling story can help others feel less alone and help non‑siblings understand why our work matters. Read other stories by adult siblings and get in touch if you’d like to share yours.
- Do you have another skill to share? We’d love to hear from you.
“I’ve learnt more today in a few hours than I have in 10 years of being involved in care for my brother. Thank you.” Adult sibling, event attendee
Different ways to donate
- Become a Friend of Sibs. Help us to continue our work and become a Friend of Sibs for £24 a year (£12 student/unemployed).
- Donate for National Siblings Day (10th April). Celebrate the biggest day in our calendar by making a donation in recognition of siblings.
- Cheer a sibling along. Not ready to run your own event? You can still support others. Visit our JustGiving page to find amazing people fundraising for Sibs and join their cheer squad with a donation and a message of encouragement.
- Leave a gift to Sibs in your will. Many adult siblings tell us “I wish this charity had existed when I was a child”. Help us change this for generations to come by leaving a legacy in your will.
We’re a small charity with big dreams, and we want to reach every sibling in the UK. A huge thank you for helping us provide support, resources, and a stronger community for those who need it most.
