Story
On 31st July 2016, Adrian Kennedy and Robin Canning will be taking part in and hopefully completing the Prudential Ride London 100 mile cycle challenge, representing the Mad Hatter's Children's Charity.
The Mad Hatter's Children's Charity is dedicated to bringing smiles to the faces of children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities across the Midlands
2016 is the Mad Hatter's tenth anniversary. The charity works hard providing free fun and exciting educational days out for over 2000 children every year, working with over 90 special schools.
The Charity's main annual events for children include:
Mad Hatter's Summer Tea Party at Birmingham Botanical Gardens
The Mad Hatter's biggest day out of the year supporting over 1000 children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. Each year the gardens are transformed into a magical wonderland filled with face painters, singers, dancers, workshops, circus entertainers, fairground rides, music, sports games and lots more.
Mad Hatter's Christmas Party at Dudley Zoo
Mad Hatter's spread Christmas cheer to over 300 children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities with a visit to the zoo to meet Santa.
Mad Hatters also support a range of other one-off and smaller projects.
All of the activities are picked especially to be both fun and educational. With special workshops, the Mad Hatters helps children with sensory needs and with the development of fine motor skills. The children’s confidence levels also increase dramatically while attending Mad Hatter's events after making new friends, developing social skills and becoming more independent.

The Prudential Ride London-Surrey 100 is a gruelling 100 mile challenging cycle ride taking in not only the sites of London but also the famous Surrey hills. We hope that you will agree that challenge that Adrian and Robin are taking on is worthy of support and that you will give generously in support of the important work that the Mad Hatter's charity does for those Children with special needs and disabilities.
