SNAPS (Special Needs And Parent Support Yorkshire)
(UK, 1133405) Browse events
YTD Raised: £-32.50
(UK, 1133405) SNAPS is an independent, Leeds based, registered charity founded in 2004 and run by parents of children with special needs, disabilities and life limiting illnesses. Families of children with special needs with one or more complex health condition face significant barriers to mainstream leisure, social and employment opportunities. SNAPS address this by providing non judgmental “whole family” based support and currently reach more than 350 families from across the Yorkshire Region. SNAPS gives each and every child, their parents and carers, unconditional friendship and is dedicated to realising the full potential of each and every family affected by disability. Many of Snaps families with children have life limiting and complex disabilities, many sadly do not live past their 10th year, therefore every day is precious. Snaps is unique in that it allows any family with a disability to benefit from its services without the requirement of a completed disability assessment as this can take years and can involve more than 100 professionals. This can mean that parents are unable to seek any statutory support, even if this were available. Through taking part in “whole family” centred activities, we challenge and reduce social exclusion, by working in collaboration with current and fledgling community groups, immobilising and sharing community support aimed at improving health, fitness and social inclusion of families of children with disabilities, special needs, and complex life limiting health conditions. Every penny raised for SNAPS is gratefully received and frugally spent running practical services, directly benefiting Yorkshire families. Snaps is largely staffed by an army of volunteers and parents who give their time generously to provide vital services.Funding is crucial to enable us to continue our service and meet the needs of a long waiting list of more than 100 parents, desperately seeking to access our life changing service. We are truly grateful for support.
