Helping families with disabled children

Fledglings Shop
Your One Stop Shop for all essential aids for children and young adults with a disability.
Fledglings are a non-profit shop that helps children and adults with additional needs by supplying products and equipment that help with everyday challenges. We provide an easy and trusted environment to find the right solutions and allow people to connect and share their experiences.
Fledglings was born in 1998 out of founder Ruth Lingard’s passion and drive to help parents and carers of children with special needs find simple solutions to the everyday challenges they face. As a special needs teacher and social worker, Ruth had a wealth of experience helping families and children, and Fledglings gave her an opportunity to reach more people in need.
We always strive to source the best products and equipment for families, and our Fledglings team is always on hand to talk about what you may be looking for and help you find the right product for your child.
Every purchase from Fledglings directly helps us to continue supporting families of disabled children with expert information and advice.
