2,300 children rely on Skylarks to help support them on their special journey. Being born with a rare syndrome, having a disability or additional need due to autism, Down's syndrome, speech/hearing/visual loss, anything that's not neuro typical, for all our many 0-25 year old's can be incredibly challenging. Their young lives need as much as they can to develop their potential, be heard, understood, meet others where they can share, be themselves, connect, have fun without being judged or alienated. We're here for the parent carers and whole families too supporting everyone as lockdown has impacted routines which has a huge impact on their wellbeing. Skylarks sessions went online at the start of lockdown to keep contact with familiar friendly faces and engaging them with their favourite classes. This helps their self confidence, learning and being part of our special and unique community. Our fundraising is ever more vital to support our beneficiaries
