Founded in 2017 by two dedicated Mam's of children with life-limiting conditions and profound disabilities, The Special Lioness has become a beacon of support and solidarity for families navigating similar journeys. The founders, having faced the profound loneliness and exhaustion of seeking reliable advice and resources, discovered each other through a Portage sensory group. This serendipitous meeting sparked the creation of a charitable organisation dedicated to transforming their personal struggles into a source of support and community for others.

Over the years, The Special Lioness has evolved into a vibrant, social, and welcoming haven for parents and carers, offering invaluable knowledge, contacts, and a friendly, slightly quirky environment. The organisation’s core mission is to foster strong, supportive friendships among parents and carers, as well as to create joyful experiences for their children.
