“The mug had me in tears!” — Free Cosy Kits support families through winter
We held an Incredibly Warm Day to help families who have kids with additional needs to keep spirits high and energy bills low during a rise in the cost of living…and it snowed that very morning! 
We created 90 Cosy Kits to give to our families. Each kit contained a bamboo hot drink flask, an electricity reader, a radiator key, night lights, a hot water bottle and more! All bundled into newly designed organic cotton Tote-ally Incredibe bags. 
We were especially chuffed with the reusable cups, which we labelled with ‘An incredible human drinks from this’ to make our families feel valued.

A special thanks to the brilliant Danielle Greenwood of Uke Lift Project who ran Ukulele workshops for our kids. We hope families had a warming weekend and that our little gifts help keep energy costs down.
This was all possible thanks to the National Grid UK‘s Community Matters Fund. 
We’re so pleased that families seemed to really appreciate the Cosy Kits. Here’s what some of them thought…
- “Really fantastic, thoughtful gifts and lovely staff. My initially nervous daughter was made to feel welcome and could be herself. Knowing that I have a safe space for my daughter to be herself along with the wonderful playworkers has really helped with our wellbeing.” — Cathleen Schmitke
- “Incredible Kids has helped my family in so many ways! It’s given me a reason to leave the house. It’s given my children something to look forward to each week, that is different enough to mean it’s never boring but at the same time stays similar enough so that they don’t get scared of coming.” — Anonymous parent
- “Very impressed & surprised. The message on the cup meant a lot. I was very grateful for the rechargeable hand warmer. We enjoyed being inside in the warm learning ukulele when it was very cold & soggy outside. Incredible Kids has given us a sense of belonging & a place where we fit in.” — Anonymous parent
- “The mug had me in tears! Very useful kit. Thank you. Incredible Kids definitely helps us as a family. Yes, my child says its the only time in the week she can be a child. No masking, just accepted for who she is.” — Anonymous parent
- “Lovely to be given a bag of useful goodies, A is loving the hot water bottle, I am very grateful for the hand warmer and A’s brother is happy he now has a night light. The sessions are an opportunity for both children to enjoy activities have fun and meet new friends without any pressure to conform.” — Anonymous parent
- “Incredible Kids provides our family with a beautiful and safe environment to thrive and be as one with other families, without judgement and stress! Go to a session. You won’t regret it and will gain so much from this incredible community.” — Sheralyn Hill
We’re incredibly grateful for the love and generosity of National Grid UK‘s Community Matters Fund, our supporters and our volunteers. Thank you for making these free goodie bags and supportive events possible, and for helping us make the world a little cosier for disabled children and their families.
