2020 has been an incredibly difficult year for all our families. We hoped 2021 would be a brighter start but we are still finding ourselves in an extremely challenging time.

Our families know loneliness and isolation better than most, but during lockdowns and restrictions this feeling has heightened beyond words. They have had to cope with the constant needs of their children with little or no support for the best part of a year now. In 2020 we have done as much as we can and offered virtual sessions and phone calls. We all know that virtual is no replacement for real contact though. A zoom class doesnt give the physical contact a child needs to progress, and a phone call is no replacement for a hug.

We had to move our fundraising online in 2020 and the previous #keepfootprintsafloat campaign was so well supported. We are incredibly grateful to all those who set up pages and donated - you did indeed keep Footprints afloat!

In 2021 we sadly still see our fundraising remaining online and we now need help to fund Footprints future. We still dont know when we can organise live events to generate income and bring people back together. Our future still remains uncertain unless we continue to secure fundraising from our amazing supporters.

If you can help with #FundingFootprintsFuture we will be forever grateful.

Thank you from us all at Footprints.
