An accessible swing for Ravenscliffe

Here at Friends of Ravenscliffe, we are on a mission to purchase an accessible swing for our wheelchair users at Ravenscliffe High School, in order to further enrich their outdoor learning and play experiences. The swing will support our wheelchair users to develop gross motor skills, including balance and co-ordination, as well as fine motor skills such as gripping. It will also encourage them to use their imaginations – they could pretend to be a bird soaring through the sky, an aeroplane or an astronaut!

We believe that all students deserve the same amazing experiences and opportunities, and know that our students would absolutely love the chance to play on their very own swing, alongside their friends.

Unfortunately, these swings are incredibly expensive – nearly £17,000! Thanks to all the wonderful people and businesses that supported our 2024 Summer Sounds event, we have already raised an incredible £5,773 and we are now actively seeking support to raise the rest. If you would be kind enough to make a donation towards our swing whilst we work behind the scenes to get more funding in, it would be greatly appreciated.

Every donation, no matter how small, will make a huge difference!

Thank you in advance from all of the staff and students at Ravenscliffe High School!
