About us

Hello, my name is Maddie, welcome to Stella! A charity dedicated to empowering individuals living with diverse conditions and abilities.

My mission is to create an inclusive society where everyone, regardless of their physical, mental or emotional challenges, can thrive and strive to reach their fullest potential. This charity is massively important to me as having Spina Bifida and scoliosis has shown me how important it is to feel heard and understood by other people. Dealing with a condition can be very difficult and overwhelming at any stage in your life.

That is why I will be providing support and helping people and families who are going through changes in their lives. I believe raising awareness and having support is a crucial part of having more inclusivity in the world and helping people that are living with a condition, to feel less isolated. If you have any other suggestions or ideas on how we can support you or another person please let us know!

Our chat space✨

We have created a chat space where adults who care for children with diverse conditions can share their experiences and feelings, ensuring they feel safe supported by me and others within the community. Additionally, we have established a chat space where children or adults living with a condition can receive support either when:

•After getting a diagnosis and if you have any worries/questions about it
•Being in hospital or plans to be admitted for surgery, illness etc by having someone to talk to during these situations
•And by receiving support/advice when dealing with the challenges of having and or living with a disability.

✨Everyone deserves to be listened to regardless of their physical, mental or emotional challenges…Every star deserves to shine✨
