Story

All our many wheelchair dependent students have a long journey to benefit from an accessible play area.  So, having a  playground nearer to home that they can use and enjoy would make the world of difference.   

At the moment, they need a bus and a driver to be available and, because there are no changing facilities at the venue, they have to travel to another venue for personal care.  And they need to be well enough to travel which isn't always the case.   All this means that outings to the playground are often cut short, or worse, cancelled. Meet Jack

Our students are very tolerant and understanding but seeing their disappointment can be heartbreaking. With their own playground on their doorstep, outdoor activities can more easily be part of their everyday routines - so a visit to the swings on the way to or from clinical appointments, and after school, just becomes normal.

It would also provide a platform for social interaction where students have greater opportunities to form fun and meaningful friendships with others.  It can be a place where confidence can grow. 

To help us make this happen you can donate to this page or click on the orange tab to start your own fundraising.   We're here to support you.  To help get you started you can download your fundraising pack here

What Happens if We Don't Raise Enough Funds?

We will continue to raise funds using other fundraising methods until we have reached our total.

What If We Raise More Than the Required Funds

All funds raised will go toward helping us to build better futures for children and young people with epilepsy.
