I'm running the Swansea 10k in September with my husband Iain to raise much needed funds for the Special Needs Activity Club (SNAC) which is a registered charity formed in 1993 by parents living in the Port Talbot area, who were unable to find suitable leisure facilities for special needs children in the locality.

They have a specific indoor area for physical activity, sensory, computer and television rooms, an art and craft area, cooking sessions sweet and savoury, reading, listening to music and sing alongs.

Activities include arts and crafts, and an indoor play area. The centre has a multi-sensory room for the therapeutic benefit of children who have sensory disorders, autism, ADHD and a chance to relax in comfort and privacy for all members who attend the centre.

SNAC also acts as a support network for parents of special needs children from all areas of South Wales, by acting as a meeting place where they can exchange information on an informal basis in a relaxed and safe environment for them and their children.
