Story
Happy Days Children's Charity provides day trips and short breaks to some of the UK's most vulnerable families. Last year, we supported over 20,000 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 21 children from an SEN school in Skipton a few days away to Center Parcs, Whinfell Forest. The children, aged 5 - 17, have various special needs including autistic spectrum disorder, cerebral palsy, Down's syndrome, epilepsy, hearing and sight impairment and learning difficulties. For some of the children, this will be the first time they have spent a night away from their parents, so this trip will help them to develop life skills and independence as well as have fun.
We have already raised £1790 towards this trip and are trying to raise the remaining £1500 to make the children's wish a reality.
** Despite the coronavirus pandemic, we are still able to organise many activities for schools and groups safely because they are a social bubble. However if for any reason there are difficulties, we will arrange the activity with the group for a later date or give them the option of having a Cinematic Theatre alternative; a covid safe stage performance which will still be funded through donations to this page **
