Story

Bright children don't always have the easy ride you might expect. They exist across all sections of society, regardless of ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability or class. Many also have a special education need or other barrier to learning, which masks their ability (and vice versa). Many experience isolation, anxiety and mental health issues due to the lack of appropriate academic and creative challenge in education and misunderstanding in society. Potential Plus UK has been supporting these young people for 55 years. Advice, assessment and advocacy services enable parents, teachers and, critically, the young people themselves to understand and advocate for their learning and well-being needs. Without Government funding the charity works hard to provide services at low cost or fully funded whenever possible. But this can only continue with support from campaigns such as this. Please make a difference to a child today - support my efforts in this 55 Challenge.
