Story
The National Paralympic Heritage Trust https://www.paralympicheritage.org.uk/ is a tiny charity with a huge name and a lot of responsibility!
They are guardians of the Paralympic heritage and do amazing work with children using the Paralympic story. Their work includes using the collections to educate and break down negative perceptions towards disability, alongside providing inspiring role models for disabled children. This is such important work because disabled children still face an enormous level of inequality, but as a charity, the Trust must fundraise 95% of its income to be able to do this.
It costs £5 to reach and talk to every child in the Buckinghamshire area, so this campaign is to cover the costs of delivering disability workshops and assemblies to 7 more classes of schoolchildren in the next school year. And hopefully many more! 9% of children in the UK have a disability, which is almost 3 children in every class that need to be better understood, accepted, and be able to expect equal chances in life.
