The LIME Magazine for Parents and Carers of Children with Special Needs @SallyLimeMag


The LIME Magazine is a resource for parents and carers of children with all special needs. It is a support mechanism. It is a 64 page full colour A4 publication that is published bi-monthly. It is sold via the internet at www.limemag.co.uk. The aim of this resource is to provide up to the minute research and practical advice on a multitude of topics special needs related. Contributors include those held in high esteem within their field such as Dr Susan Ashley PhD who is a Child Psychologist, and Mark Brown who is a Special Needs Health Visitor with 29 years’ experience. Areas covered are those such as toileting, feeding and other practical issues. The LIME Magazine has been running now for over 12 months. It is enjoying good readership figures and has recently received sponsorship from Ford UK. This means that we are able to increase our circulation to children’s centres nationwide which increases the number of families reached and helped by this resource.

Part of the profit from sales of The LIME Magazine goes to the registered charity www.ict4autism.org whose Patron is the Radio and TV Presenter Paul Ross. The aims of this charity are to provide adaptive computing technology for children with Autism and other Neurological Disorders. This charity has been running for 12 months also and is doing very well. We have already made a difference to the lives of many children. We have received funding from the National Lottery which has helped immensely. We are holding a Gala in Brighton on 5th August which will include a meal, a band and a silent auction. Tickets will go on sale shortly. If you are interested in attending or are able to donate a prize for the silent auction, please do contact me at [email protected]

I author a BLOG as part of the LIME Magazine. This can be found at http://blog.limemag.co.uk. The BLOG covers such things as up to the minute research, book reviews, previews of magazine content and much more. It is receiving excellent numbers of readers. Combined with the personal BLOG Daniel’s Diary www.thecarer.org we are receiving in excess of 200k+ visitors per year. So if you want to see what all the fuss is about then pop on over! We always welcome feedback and comments on the BLOGs and Daniel’s Diary has just had a complete facelift so would love to know what you think of it.

If any of you would benefit from the assistance of reading The LIME Magazine, or if you know someone who would be thankful for the support, then please do pop on over to the website and subscribe. It costs less than the cost of a take away meal for a year’s subscription. We would love to hear from you. Many thanks for your support.
