Story
2024 - Smeg continue supporting the wonderful team at SpecialEffect. We have been working closely with them for sometime now and we have seen first hand the impact that their work does to those that need it most. They are a small group of people who are dedicated to the cause and they work tirelessly to raise awareness.
*We have a team of 13 entering a 5k Inflatable Challenge on the 28th September 2024.
*We had a team of 5 who did the The Cotswold Challenge on the 22nd and 23rd June 2024.
SpecialEffect:
Supporting people with physical disabilities to use adapted technology with whichever parts of their body that work best (head, eyes, foot, mouth-we harness ANY movement), empowering them to join in with family/friends, achieving things never thought possible. We specialise in Eye Control for those completely paralysed & unable to speak, enabling communication with eye-movement alone, regaining some independence & a voice. Play games, communicate & enjoy much-needed fun, escapism & quality of life.
