Iʼve raised £500 to help create a sensory room for children with special needs in Belarus
- Carrickfergus, United Kingdom
- Funded on Thursday, 10th May 2018
Don't have time to donate right now?
Story
“Our dream is to have a sensory room for our children, but we could never afford a luxury like that” - These are the words of the Principal of a Special Needs Day Care Centre in Belarus.
If you have ever experienced a sensory room, you will know how relaxing and calming it can be. We can only imagine how relaxing a sensory room would be for a child with special needs.
To help make this dream become a reality, my sister and I will visit this Special Needs Day Care Centre with a few other people with the Drop Inn charity, in June. We will be taking part in a camp that the day care runs, and will be having lots of fun with the kids who are otherwise forgotten about in their communities.
It would mean SO much to us if you could spare any amount - pennies or pounds - to help us with our trip, and help us make this school's dream of building a sensory room for these children with special needs come true.
Dig deep and donate what you can - every penny will count!
Thank you so much (in advance) from - not only the team going out to Belarus - but most importantly, the kids and staff in the day care who will appreciate it more than you could ever imagine.

7 years ago31/03/18 Just over 2 months to go until our trip! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated so far☺️. Although sadly it seems our target won’t be met to build a sensory room, so hopefully we will be able to help the most deserving kids by supplying some sensory equiptment and toys. Thank you so much to everyone again, and please continue to spread the word and dig deep!💗
