Day Three brings us to an organisation making a huge difference on and off the pitch. In today’s episode, Lauren and Heather are joined by CP United FC, a charity and football club dedicated to supporting children and adults with cerebral palsy and associated conditions.

Together, they dive into the power of inclusive sport, how football can build confidence and community, and the brilliant work CP United do to ensure everyone has a place to play, grow, and belong. From grassroots sessions to elite pathways, their impact is felt far beyond match day.

Lauren and Heather chat with the team about representation, resilience, festive wishes, and why accessible sport matters now more than ever.

Day Two of our 12 Charities of Christmas series shines a warm festive light on Square Peg Activities, a charity dedicated to creating accessible, inclusive, and confidence-boosting experiences for disabled children and young people.

In this episode, Lauren and Heather sit down with co-founder Sharon Needham to explore how Square Peg Activities inspires joy, connection, and growth through tailored sessions that celebrate every child’s abilities. From dance and drama clubs to sensory play and holiday activities, we discuss how the charity builds community, supports families, and ensures no child feels like they have to “fit the mould.”

We also talk about the challenges disabled families face, the importance of inclusive spaces, and the impact of seeing children thrive in an environment built for them and with them in mind.

And, of course, we finish with Sharon’s special Christmas Wish for the future of Square Peg Activities and the young people they support.

A heartwarming, inspiring, and truly festive episode — perfect for Day Two of our countdown. Tune in and feel the magic. 🎄✨
