(UK, 1143935) Browse eventsWe are a charity providing wrap-around care for children aged 3 to 11. Located in the canteen attached to West Oxford C.P. School we aim to provide children with a safe, fun and caring environment. Situated to the west of the city centre, we are based in the grounds of West Oxford C.P. School and share many of its facilities. A key area we use is the school playground - currently a tired expanse of cracked tarmac, with few facilities. Although the children enjoy playing outside, the lack of equipment and shade can be an issue. As a key user of the site, we've joined with the Friends of West Oxford C P School to launch a playground appeal to renovate the playground. It's a particularly important community resource as it is the only open space in West Oxford not affected by flooding. The nearby school playing field and surrounding green spaces are frequently water logged and regularly flood. In one recent year flooding rendering the school field unusable for six months. Time outside is important to the users of the after school club, not least as the club is housed in a small room at the back of the school canteen.
(UK, 1133405) Browse eventsSNAPS 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.
