Little People UK have developed a video to raise awareness of the attention people with dwarfism, and disablities face in everyday situtations. 

People with disabilities, in particular those with dwarfism, encounter looks and stares from people, it's human nature. Children in particular find little people fascinating, often reacting quite vocally. Out of embarrassment, parents try to defuse the situation, but this isn't always in a positive way, which then makes children 'scared' of people who are different. When they only wanted to be treat like everyone else.

Little People UK would like to raise awareness and help people initiate a conversation instead of just staring.

On Saturday 21st October members of Little People UK and Dwarf Sports Association UK visited West Lodge Farm to raise awareness of people with dwarfism.

Huge thank you to Jemma Hart and pupils at St Peter In Thanet Junior School, Broadstairs, for raising over £2000 for Little People UK and Dwarf Sports Association UK at their 12 hour Dance-a-thon last week, during Dwarfism Awareness Month.

LPUK members had a great time today at the Allocate conference, with healthcare professionals and care organisations, helping raise the profile of LPUK.

LPUK president Warwick Davis gave an excellent address to attendees about his life and career, including how healthcare has helped him and his family through several periods of their life. 

Other LPUK representatives were then given the opportunity to speak with delegates at the conference, handing out our charity leaflets and giving a brief introduction to Little People UK and its members. 

It was a great opportunity to raise the profile of LPUK, informing healthcare professionals and raising awareness of dwarfism. 

We are a group of 8 friends in West Wales who share a love of "classic"cars and a desire to raise some money and an awareness for a couple of causes that are near to our hearts for various reasons.

LPUK and DSAuk members will be at West Rural Lodge, Kettering, NN14 2SH on Saturday 21st October 2017 - 10am until 4pm, to raise awareness of dwarfism. Feel free to join us and help raise awareness! Huge thank you to Dawn Hinton for arranging this and thank you to Maureen Dee and family for allowing us to use West Rural Lodge for this great cause. 

With the help of LPUK member Andy Moyes, The Lions Club of Ivybridge are holding a charity auction on Saturday 21st October 2017 at the Watermark Centre, Ivybridge, starting from 7:30pm, with all money raised going to Little People UK.

Last weekend representatives from LPUK attended the 2016 International Dwarfism Leadership Summit, in Berlin, along with fellow dwarfism leaders from around the world. To talk about a wide variety of issues associated with dwarfism, and running organisations in their own country. 

There were representatives from over 20 countries, with attendees travelling from as far as Australia and New Zealand. Representing LPUK were: Warwick Davis (President), Sam Davis (Chairperson), Penny Dean (Adoption co-ordinator) and Rebecca Nuttall (Charity Administrator).

Today, people with dwarfism and organizations around the world that support Little People and their families raise our hands to celebrate October 25 as International Dwarfism Awareness Day. In all countries, people with dwarfism still face social and physical barriers that stand in the way of choices and opportunities. On October 25, Little People unite together to promote dwarfism awareness and pride in order to challenge those barriers, and to assert our right to self-determination and independence.

Happy International Dwarfism Awareness Day!

Delegates from Little People UK were honoured to take part in the 'International Dwarfism Leadership Summit' in Berlin this last weekend. Representing LPUK were, Samantha Davis (Chairperson), Warwick Davis (President), Rebecca Nuttall (Administrator) and Penny Dean (Adoption Co-ordinator). LPUK shared information on what contributes to it's success as an organisation whilst also learning from other support groups about their best practices, and how we can apply them to improve LPUK even further. 

It was a privilege to meet representatives from other dwarfism groups from around the world to discuss pertinent issues in the LP community, and how we can work together in the future to offer medical and social support, and make the world an even better place for people with dwarfism.

A huge thank you to Little People of America (LPA) for organising such a fantastic weekend, and of course Berlin for hosting it. We at LPUK look forward to working as a coalition to make improvements for the future of people with dwarfism.
