Why we need your help

We believe that children and young people learn best when they are enjoying themselves. Having fun provides opportunities for personal development as well as contributing to the child’s happiness and overall sense of well-being.
Sadly, very few disabled children and young people receive funding from local authorities to access services like ours leaving them lacking opportunities and feeling isolated from their community.
The kind and generous support we receive from individuals, companies and charitable trusts allows us to offer our services to these children and young people enabling them to take part in their choice of everyday leisure activity and for their families to benefit from a much needed short break.
In 2012 we need to raise £1.1m and your help, no matter how small, will help us meet this challenging target.
There are many ways to support us. From volunteering a few hours of your time, taking part in one our events, making a donation, arranging your own fundraising event or recycling your old mobile phone – there is sure to be something to suit everybody.
