We are planning a 40 mile cycle from the unit out to Thame, Bicester and back to Oxford. The money we rase will go towards buying the new unit equipment that will enrich the lives of the young people. As a team of Oxfordshire Hospital School teachers we know what benefits having a gym, sensory room and garden will make to the new unit at the Warneford.

The gym will be the biggest part of the appeal with approximately £40,000 needed to create the standalone building and equip it with the exercise items identified by the young people as most important. The sensory room will be a further £20,000, a large proportion of which will be on interactive sensory lights and projections to aid the young people using the room. The rest of the funds will be used to create a safe and engaging garden experience for those at the unit and to co-produce art to enhance the whole unit, garden and visitor spaces.
