I am challenging myself to the Run Reigate half marathon for Include.org - I want to raise vital funds for this important charity.
It's not a big national charity - every donation means so much.
Include tackles the challenges of communication disabilities through the application of speech and language therapy expertise in ways that feel nothing like actual therapy!
They run inclusive Makaton choirs, wellbeing walks, structured coproduction sessions and much more. Feedback from people involved in Include's projects speaks for itself:
“Before Include I NEVER was able to engage and have any confidence to speak in front of others. In fact, this is the first time I have had any. Always been too shy everywhere and on edge in case I’m judged, but I can be me and feel comfortable being Beth while at Include.”
“When I come to The Include Choir, I feel listened to. There are people with and without disabilities and we all help each other. Together we raise awareness of communication needs." Sarah
