Donating specialist assistive and inclusive technology for children with life-limiting conditions using children’s palliative care services 🕹️ https://linktr.ee/lifelitesorg

A group of people are sitting in a circle in comfortable chairs, engaged in a discussion. In the middle of the circle are two small tables. One person is speaking while the others listen.
A person in a black t-shirt with "Play Create Communicate Lifelites.org" on the back is seated, looking at a computer screen. Another person stands beside them, observing the screen.
A happy child in a blue helmet sits, holding a black device, next to a large orange question mark. The background is purple with text that reads: "DID YOU KNOW Lifelites receives no government funding. We're powered by people. 75p of every £1 goes to frontline services. Your donation makes the magic happen." The Lifelites logo is in the top left corner.
A white, inflatable sensory tent with green and yellow accents, designed to resemble a hut, is set up in a room with light blue walls and a grey floor. The words "HUT IS HOME" are visible above the entrance. Inside the tent, a child is curled up asleep under a colourful blanket on a large, lime green beanbag. The tent is illuminated with a soft, green light.
A smiling man wearing a Lifelites charity running shirt and a finisher's medal poses for a photo while holding a mic. He stands in front of a brick wall as someone takes his picture with a smartphone. Below the photo is a quote from him: “If you're thinking about doing something for Lifelites, get involved! They'll look after you. They'll guide you all the way through it. And enjoy your experience!” – Lee, Previous challenge participant.
A young child, Elijah, who has dark hair and a tracheostomy, is seated in a wheelchair and looking intently at a large, dark screen in front of him. A clear tube from his tracheostomy goes down towards his chest. He is wearing a dark blue long-sleeved top. In the background, slightly out of focus, an adult with short hair, identified as Kim, Elijah's mum, smiles while looking at the screen. A text box on the right overlays the image, quoting Kim: "The Tilt and Touch table helps Elijah engage in activities." The Lifelites logo, featuring a colourful rainbow-like icon and the word "Lifelites," is visible in the bottom left corner.
A graphic advertising a "Super User Training Day" by Lifelites on Tuesday 2nd September 2025. Below the text, five adults are standing in a bright pink inflatable sensory tent, each holding a glowing orb. From left to right, one woman holds a green orb, another a red, the next a blue, and the two on the right hold yellow orbs. A black bag with a white logo is on the floor in front of them.
A woman in a dark blue polo shirt stands next to a large monitor displaying a video game, pointing towards the screen with her right hand. A man seated in a blue chair with his back to the camera is watching the screen. A white banner with text and images is visible on the right side of the image.
A smiling young girl with blonde pigtails is looking at lit up accessible buttons. She wears a pink jumper with golden hearts. She is playing at wooden table, her hand is open and she is ready to press on the buttons. On the left is Lifelites logo and the following text “Our mission – We harness innovative sensory and assistive technology to empower children and young people with life-limiting conditions. We help them and their families connect, create and share joyful moments.”
A smiling young child with a dummy sits in a dark sensory space lit by green light, wearing a tracksuit with a Pudsey Bear patch. The text beside reads: "DID YOU KNOW? We are the only charity in the UK and Ireland to provide life-changing technology to children with life-limiting conditions across palliative care services."
Nearly all of the technology donated by Lifelites, with computers, toys and assistive devices.

Large text reads: “Did you know.” Below it says: “Lifelites is providing cutting-edge technology to children’s palliative care services across Britain and Ireland, now impacting over 13,500 children and their families annually.” On the right side is a smiling girl in a wheelchair with glasses and a pink top with a cake in the foreground that she made thanks to Lifelites accessible tech, and a large orange question mark graphic layered on top.
A young Tracy Rennie in a blue nurse’s uniform and white cap, smiling. Beside her is a quote that reads: “The palliative care sector was absolutely in its infancy in the 1980s. There were nine hospices and one children’s palliative care consultant in the UK. Now, 40 years later, it is unrecognisable! We have listened to families and learned about what truly great care is..” – Tracy Rennie, Lifelites Trustee
