About Lifelites
Lifelites passionately believes that all children with life-limiting conditions and complex disabilities should enjoy a childhood filled with special moments of fun, happiness, and meaningful connections.
By harnessing innovative sensory and assistive technology, we empower children to play, learn, communicate, interact with the world, and create lasting memories with their families.
For nearly 25 years, we have provided cutting-edge technology, training, and ongoing technical support free of charge to children’s hospices in Britain and Ireland, impacting over 12,500 children and their families annually.
