Donation protected
We are raising funds to cover costs for accessible venue hire spaces, train sports coaches interested in working with autistic children/adults as long at they can commit to volunteering with us for 12 to 20 weeks in the year of running the Holiday and Half Term activities.
Many of our SEND families do not meet the criteria for a blue badge or high mobility for DLA/PIP. Those with low incomes or unable to travel on public transport for various reasons need financial assistance with tranvel.
Accessible venue and park hire - £3000 Travel costs - £2000 Training Coaches/Volunteers - Autism Sports Modules - £1000
Travel costs/parking permits for many families with autistic children and young people who need financial assistance as many of the children may attend specialists school and are provided with SEN Transport, don't travel on public transport for various reasons or parents on low income or due to the Ulez charge and congestion charges. This has been one of the main issues for families not attending autism programs, since lockdown has been lifted.
Sessions will take place in Wandsworth, Croydon and Lambeth Area. Surrounding areas welcome to attend.
