About Us

MumReignite CIC is a family-focused community interest company rooted in lived experience. Founded by a mother of twin autistic girls, we understand the unique challenges faced by families raising children with additional needs. Our work began with a passion to support mothers, and has evolved into a holistic, intergenerational approach that empowers the entire family – mothers, children, and siblings – to thrive.

We provide emotional, practical, and developmental support through programmes that strengthen mental well-being, build community connections, and celebrate the resilience of caregivers and their children. We are particularly dedicated to supporting families from underrepresented and minority ethnic communities.

Our Vision

We envision a thriving society where special needs families – mothers, children, and siblings alike – are supported, valued, and empowered to live with confidence, purpose, and joy. A world where care for the caregiver and child go hand-in-hand, and no one is left behind in the journey of neurodiversity and disability.

Our Mission

Our mission is to create a nurturing, inclusive environment where special needs mothers, their children, and their families can thrive. We support mothers in prioritising self-care, pursuing personal and professional growth, and building lasting community connections. At the same time, we provide children with disabilities – and their siblings – with safe, inclusive spaces for play, learning, and emotional support.

We aim to improve the overall well-being of the entire family unit, recognising that empowered mothers, engaged children, and supported siblings together contribute to stronger, healthier communities.

Core Values

Empathy – Honouring each family’s unique journey with compassion and understanding.

Empowerment – Equipping families with tools and support to thrive.

Community – Fostering strong, safe, and inclusive support networks.

Well-being – Championing emotional, mental, and physical wellness for all.

Inclusivity – Serving all backgrounds and needs with dignity and respect.

Our Key Objectives

  • Mental Health & Emotional Well-being: Provide mothers and their families with counselling, peer support, and therapeutic outlets to manage stress and enhance resilience.
  • Physical Wellness: Promote active lifestyles through AfroFitness dance sessions, yoga, nutrition workshops, and inclusive movement for both mothers and children.
  • Family and Child Inclusion: Offer inclusive programming for children with special needs and their siblings, including sensory play, storytelling, mindfulness, and sibling workshops.

  • Professional Development for Mothers: Support women with career coaching, employability training, and entrepreneurship resources so they can pursue financial independence while managing caregiving responsibilities.

Supporting the Whole Family

Mothers, Children, and Siblings

MumReignite CIC has evolved to become a holistic support system for special needs families. We understand that children and siblings also require dedicated support, and that entire families benefit when all members are engaged and cared for.

To this end, we deliver inclusive, family-focused programmes that include:

  • Creative and Sensory Activities: Music therapy, sensory storytelling, crafts, and installations tailored to neurodiverse children.
  • Inclusive Play Sessions: Adaptive environments for children of all abilities to engage and connect.
  • Mindfulness and Emotional Literacy: Teaching calming techniques and emotional regulation.
  • Sibling Support: Workshops that empower siblings to express themselves, understand neurodiversity, and build supportive peer relationships.
  • Family Days: Community events that bring families together in accessible, celebratory environments.
