We’re building an online community for you and most importantly with you and we want your voice to help us develop it.
Here's an example of the features you might find in
'The Vilij'
The Vilij Hall
The Café
The Wellbeing Centre
The Library
Real Stories, Real Hope
The beating heart of The Vilij where we gather, learn and share.
Inside, you’ll find open honest conversations with parents who are walking the SEND journey plus online sessions that offer practical guidance and encouragement.
Find your people, build a life you love not despite your challenges but alongside them.
Stay as long as you like, the doors are always open.
Your Safe Space
Pull up a chair and find your people. Share your wins, your worries, your worst days without judgement.
This is where “how are you really?” is a genuine question and you can finally feel seen.
There’s always a seat waiting for you.
Your Sanctuary
Your place to pause and recharge. When the overwhelm hits, this is the place you will come to retreat.
Caring for someone with SEND is rewarding and exhausting.
Step inside for resources and activities that restore, calm and reenergise.
Everything you need, organised and searchable.
Quiet, calm and packed with useful treasures.
Browse guides and documents for information and templates created to save you time and stress.
A space to inform and never overwhelm.
The Community that sees you!
Join members who will celebrate your child's small victories like they're Olympic gold medals.
Who will sit with you in the hard moments.
Who will remind you that you're not failing - you're fighting.
And you don't have to fight alone.

Founders story...
Charlie Beswick, The Vilij
From a young age, my worth was tied to helping others and doing things well. I was driven, capable, and a natural fixer. When my twin sons were born, and Harry was diagnosed with Goldenhar syndrome, everything I believed about myself and motherhood shattered.
I performed strength while quietly unravelling, navigating isolation, grief, and depression in a world that didn’t understand SEND parenting.
Writing 'Our Altered Life' connected me to thousands of parents who felt the same.
Through teaching, advocacy, and community building, one truth became clear: parents don’t need fixing, systems do.
The Vilij exists to make SEND life easier, safer, and less lonely.

Steph Talbot, The Vilij
My journey to the Vilij is due to a deep love of learning and my lived experience as a grandmother to a child with autism.
Education shaped my early life and career as an accountant, with passion for continuous learning beyond formal systems.
My grandson Loui’s SEND journey profoundly changed my purpose, leading me to co-found and grow a charity supporting vulnerable families for over a decade, and later to establish a community café creating work opportunities for S.E.N.D. young adults.
The Vilij brings together my professional expertise and lived experience to support SEND families with the best online experience because they deserve nothing less
