Blossom...

The Beginning

 

Blossom is a dedicated charity, founded in 2012, and operated by committed trustees who generously volunteer their time. The inspiration behind Blossom stemmed from the personal journey of Jacqui McNaughton, whose eldest son, Daniel, has Autism. Jacqui's experience as a mother navigating the challenges and triumphs of raising a child with Autism fuelled her passion to create Blossom, aiming to provide support and resources to others in similar situations.

Daniel was diagnosed with Autism at age 3. He is non-speaking and has learning difficulties, OCD, gluten intolerance, and other medical issues. His journey has involved frequent gaps in professional support. When in pain, Daniel’s behaviour would worsen, but professionals often attributed everything to Autism without investigating further. His parents eventually found a private doctor in Manchester who diagnosed him with brain inflammation, requiring extensive treatment they funded themselves.

To assist other families in similar situations, Blossom was born to provide essential treatments and services for children with special additional needs. Blossom supports children with conditions like Autism, Down Syndrome, and Cerebral Palsy, helping families access underfunded services such as speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, and nutritional advice. Our aim is to enhance these children's quality of life and their ability to engage meaningfully in their communities.
