Lifelites

Who we are

Lifelites is the only charity dedicated to providing assistive and sensory technology to children with life-limiting conditions.

Our technology breaks down the barriers that disability creates - giving children the chance to communicate, play, learn, and connect with the people they love. These are not luxuries - they are fundamental.

We partner with 65 children’s hospices, specialist education and other community services across Britain and Ireland to deliver tailored packages of equipment, expert training, and four years of ongoing support - completely free of charge.

“Lifelites technology is Savannah’s way of communicating. It has honestly brought the best out in her and makes her so much more determined to communicate and have fun with us.”
— Jayde, Savannah’s mum

Empowering children, families and care teams

Our work creates impact on multiple levels:

• For children, it means the freedom to express themselves, explore the world, and experience joy.
• For families, it offers shared experiences and precious memories that may otherwise never happen.
• For palliative care teams, it means confidence, efficiency, and tools that enhance care delivery.

Our culture and values

Our values

Dynamic

We constantly evolve to respond to the changing needs of children, families and partners, adapting our approach and using our expertise to maximise our impact.

Inclusive

We look beyond the traditional, obvious and familiar to remove barriers that prevent children and families from connecting, playing and expressing themselves. We partner with and recruit people based on their merits and alignment to our goals.

Collaborative

We bring together and collaborate with diverse people and organisations that share a common passion for our vision, believing that combining resources improves outcomes for all.

Empowering

We believe everyone has an innate desire to play, create and communicate. Our services empower children, their families, our partners and our team to discover and reach their full potential.

Innovative

We constantly seek new ways to achieve our vision, serve children in need and their families, develop our team and build our relationships with our partners.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

Our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion

Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. These words are engrained in our services and our culture. As an organisation that seeks to empower children and young people with life-limiting conditions and complex disabilities, we are similarly committed to these values in the way we recruit and develop our people, build our teams, work in partnership and cultivate success. We actively welcome, nurture and celebrate the different abilities, sexual orientation, ethnicity, faith, and gender of candidates, existing staff, stakeholders and volunteers.
