Over the last 30 years, Happy Days Children's Charity has provided day trips and short breaks to some of the UK's most vulnerable families. Last year, we supported over 35,000 children with mental and physical disabilities, life limiting conditions, children who have been abused and young carers. But we need your help to continue our vital work.

We are trying to give 36 children from an SEN school in Manchester a wonderful day out to Blackpool.

The children, aged 7 - 14, have various additional needs including autistic spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome and learning difficulties. Owing to their circumstances, they have very few life and leisure experiences and this trip would mean the world to them.

We have already raised some funds for this activity and need to raise a further £2,375 to make this trip happen.
