About Blessings In Disguise

Blessings in Disguise is a UK based not-for-profit charity organisation created to enrich the lives of disadvantaged children and their carers.

Blessings In Disguise Description

Blessing in Disguise’ was established in 2013 in Lancashire and initially operated from a small donated office in a outbuilding with minimal overheads. After 2 years, we finally have our own office and proper desks. Blessing in Disguise is not-for-profit organisation and a registered children's charity with the emphasis on creating a positive focus on enabling freedom to enjoy treasured memories to share with family and loved ones and providing a range of life enhancing experiences and helping to improve the quality of life for the families and carers of disabled, disadvantaged and terminally ill children and young people.
Socially responsible organisation helping and supporting via a free service providing themed breaks, planned activities and promote and provide social and recreational opportunities for the whole family. Through personal experience, we know that it can often be difficult on other family members, who perhaps unfortunately miss out due to concentrated focus on the disabled or child or young person with a life-limiting illness and we will endeavor to encourage them to reach their potential.
“Creating positive changes to improve life’s misfortunes, everyone deserves a blessing in disguise”
