Little People UK

What to expect

Little People UK provides a safe and supportive environment for anyone with a connection with dwarfism, whether it be a person with dwarfism themself, a family member or a friend, along with carers. They offer guidance to medical, education and other professionals to ensure members are supported throughout life. They can also connect people within the dwarfism community with others experiencing the same and/or professionals who can offer guidance and support over a wide range of issues.

They do this in a number of different ways:

• They provide information and support on a variety of areas
• They hold a range of events both online and in-person
• They network with other organisations to collectively build knowledge
• They raise awareness with professionals around the UK to ensure support is offered throughout a person's life time.

When attending an in-person event you will be welcomed by a member of the team, and online there will be an introduction. They are also more than happy to have a pre-introduction individually if this would be beneficial, and all newcomers are welcome.

There are a number of different ways to sign up; events are signposted on social media, the website and newsletter (for members). You are always more than welcome to get in touch with Little People UK directly for information, support or guidance.
