Sibs is the UK charity dedicated to supporting siblings of disabled children and adults. We offer information, advice, and emotional support for young siblings (aged 7-17), adult siblings (aged 18+), parents, and professionals.
Our services include:

- Adult Siblings: Support groups, events, guides, and resources for adults who have a brother or sister with lifelong disabilities or neurodiversity.
- Parents & Professionals: Tips, workshops, and training to help you support siblings, including advice on positive relationships, inclusion, and wellbeing.
- Siblings in Schools Project: Resources and interventions for schools to support siblings of disabled children, including the Sibs Talk programme.
- Sibling Group Leaders: Guidance and activities for running sibling support groups, including training and discussion resources.
All resources are free to access online. We also run online and in-person events, workshops, and support groups. Sibs is a registered charity and welcomes donations to help us continue our work.
