About Sky Badger

What Does Sky Badger Do?

Sky Badger is a charity that finds help and adventure for disabled children and their families in the UK. We do this by building bridges between disabled children and the charities and services available to help. We find everything from disabled sports clubs to sibling groups to ‘make a wish’ charities and tell families about them though our website, social media platforms, videos, information packs and e-helpdesk.

Sky Badger - the beginning

Sky Badger was created by four mums in October 2011. Between their 11 children, three are disabled and two have life-limiting conditions. The idea was to build a website giving families information relevant to them. It needed to be positive, extremely easy to use and fun.

Who is Sky Badger?

A little 7-year-old boy with special needs called Max invented Sky Badger. When playing Superheroes with his dad, Max used to tie a tea towel around his neck and magically gain superpowers to win any battle. We’d all like to thank Max for inspiring us to create Sky Badger. Now we hope we can give you the superpowers to win any battle too.

Sky Badger is a proud member of The Council for Disabled Children. The Council for Disabled Children (CDC) is the umbrella body for the disabled children's sector in England, with links to other UK nations. They bring together the diverse range of organisations that work with and for disabled children to support the development and implementation of policy and practise. Their work impacts on over 800,000 disabled children and their families.
