Sally Beamish is raising money for Dame Vera Lynn Children's Charity
Story
I shall be taking part in a tandem skydive on Saturday 6 October 2012 at Headcorn Parachute Club to raise funds for
The Dame Vera Lynn Trust for Children with Cerebral Palsy.
All the money raised will contribute towards the £660,000 that it costs annually to run the services of the School for Parents in West Sussex.
My 2 year old son Jake was diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy in October 2011. As you can imagine it is a terrible shock to find out that your child has any kind of disability.
The Dame Vera Lynne School For Parents was recomended to me by our Physiotherapist and I cannot ever thank the Dame Vera Lynne School for Parents enough for the support and education that they have given us and continue to give us in order to assist Jake with his progression with his mobility and day to day living.
Here is a little bit of an insight into the Dame Vera Lynne School for Parents:
The Dame Vera Lynn Trust for Children with Cerebral Palsy provides a specialist service for families of young children with cerebral palsy and other motor learning difficulties. Parents and children learn daily living skills together at our School for Parents using the principles of Conductive Education. We support families with babies and children under five years of age.
We currently have over 80 families attending our School for Parents in West Sussex and Suffolk. Families travel from Sussex, Kent, Surrey, Essex, Middlesex, Berkshire, Suffolk and the London Boroughs.
A highly skilled and professional team helps parents to recognise a child's unique qualities and achievements. Everyday is an exciting experience and parents can talk openly to each other about their child's activities, sharing an understanding of each other's situation.
The emphasis on School for Parents is to provide strong practical support for all parents who have children with special needs within a mutually sympathetic and encouraging environment.
All the services we offer are provided free of charge. We receive no statutory funding and rely entirely on the support of the community.
