Interview: Naomi Marek, A founder of Sky Badger, a charity for disabled children

Sky Badger launches on 15 May to coincide with the United Nation's International Day of Families.

How was Sky Badger founded?

The idea for the charity came from a conversation in the playground between me and three other mums with disabled children, who have also struggled to find vital information required to care for their children.

It took three years to get the support we needed for my son Max who has autism. The NHS doesn't pass on vital information and SENCOs do their best but don't have much time. The information is out there, but it's a catch 22 as you need to know where it is in order to find it, and there is no single website that provides everything you need.
