There are over half a million young siblings and over a million adult adult siblings in the UK
About Sibs:
Sibs is the UK charity for people who grow up with a disabled brother or sister. We support siblings who
are growing up with or who have grown up with a brother or sister with any disability, long term chronic
illness, or life limiting condition.
There are over half a million young siblings and over a million adult siblings in the UK.
Siblings have specific needs that require attention at different stages of their lives, including relief of isolation,
information, and strategies for coping with the situations they find themselves in.
Our aim is to enhance the lives of siblings by providing them with information and support, and by
influencing service provision for siblings through the UK. Our long term vision is that each local authority in the UK will have a
dedicated siblings service, providing sibling groups and one to one support for children who are siblings.
