Sibs is the only UK charity representing the needs of siblings of disabled people.
Sibs exists to support people who grow up with or have grown up with a disabled brother or sister. It is the only UK charity representing the needs of over half a million young siblings and over one and a half million adult siblings.
Siblings have a lifelong need for information, they often experience social and emotional isolation, and have to cope with difficult situations. They also want to have positive relationships with their disabled brothers and sisters and to be able to choose the role they play in future care. There are over half a million young siblings and over a million adult siblings in the UK.
Sibs provides information and support on sibling issues for young siblings, adult siblings and parents. They provide training and consultancy to service providers on developing support and services for siblings.
