Life experiences
We also provide life enriching experiences for children and their families.
Paddy's Purpose
We support Paddy’s Purpose, a fun interactive workshop for schools, designed to break down barriers & challenge how the world sees disability.
Accesible for all
We offer our families lots of different accessible events allowing the entire family to enjoy time out together.
What We Do:
Our shops cover our overheads, so your donation will always go to the child in need and not on operational costs.
We enter into partnerships with local companies for support, both with fundraising and expertise.
We organise sponsorship by local companies for our events to maximise their profits.
We encourage others to fundraise for us in any way they can: cake sales, sponsored walks, for example.
We pro-actively work to raise our profile in Dorset by engaging with the local community using Social Media, local press and networking.
What We Do:
Visit each family to tailor make their own fundraising package and provide posters and collection pots etc.
Apply for grants from Trusts and other charitable bodies.
Link parents, carers, and children together to form a vital support network.
Offer individuals the chance to take up a personal challenge for us: Marathons, Skydives, Wing Walks etc.
Partner with local schools to promote and educate on the needs of children living with disability.
Arrange fundraising events such as annual: Football Tournaments, Casino Nights and Comedy Shows.
