Story

It is our belief that all children should have the opportunity to achieve their full potential in a happy and play-centred environment. We are committed to the themes, principles and objectives of the Early Years Foundation stage.We have lovely spacious buildings, good sized play rooms, computer rooms, outside play areas and wonderful multi-sensory rooms for babies and children who benefit from a specialist environment. Some of the groups are fortunate to have their own minibus which enables the trained staff and therapists to take the children out for fun, stimulating activities. For many of the children they can only access these additional trips whilst at the groups.

However, in order for the Opportunity groups to continue they each need to find in excess of £30,000 per annum through fundraising and through grants.

We are asking for your support and participation in important fundraising events for the Hidden Needs Trust raising money for the Dorset and Somerset Opportunity groups.
