Fundraising for SPACE

Story

Esther has the joy of knowing a wonderful boy in her school. And I've had the joy of meeting his incredible mum,who along with others has started a charity called SPACE in the Chester area.

Space is a parent led support group for families that have children with additional needs. The aim of SPACE is to provide a safe and accessible play opportunities for children with additional needs and also support their families through peer support and providing information.

We are playing our small part by running the 5K on 14th May and raising whatever money we can to support SPACE with their activities. Any donations greatly welcomed.

And for those that know me, yes, Esther will probably totally out run me!

The aim of SPACE is to provide a local, fun, safe and accessible environment in which children with disabilities and additional needs can play. Also opportunities for parents and carers to meet and provide mutual support. The charity has been founded by mums who have children with disabilities and additional needs. Through our own experience we have found that there is very little support for families with young children with disabilities/additional needs and locally there are no accessible play areas. Our goal is to increase the support and opportunities through continuing to provide our 'stay and play', 'little stars' and parent support sessions. We aim to raise enough money to open our own centre so that we can support more children and their families.
