Nick’s story
Do you want to join me in making a difference?
I'm going to be going to the BC Bike Race in 2022 partly as a personal challenge but mostly to help raise money in aid of Together 21 and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me and the local communities it serves.
About Together 21
We deliver fun-packed weekly sessions to three groups: 0-4yrs, 5-11yrs and 12-18yrs. This separation helps address social/developmental needs most relevant to the child/young person’s next steps e.g. preparing a child with Down syndrome for nursery/primary school is very different from the challenges faced by a child entering/nearing the end of secondary school. Groups are then split according to ability rather than age, to focus on:
Speech/Language/Communication (including Makaton)
Literacy/Numeracy
Sensory Play
Fine/Gross Motor-Skills
Social Skills/Emotional Wellbeing
School Preparation
Our amazing volunteers provide much needed support that enables this service to be delivered in a cost effective way. Volunteers provide over 400 hours of support annually.
Delivering Together 21 costs £83,000 per year. This pays for staffing, sessional group leaders, volunteer expenses, client activity resources and operational costs. These costs are met through a contribution from parents, grant funding/fundraising activities and support from Pioneering Care Partnership Board. We are therefore seeking additional funding to provide this vital support service to our Together 21 families.
How can you help?
A donation of £1,500 will sponsor a child for a full year of support at Together 21.
This provides:
· 184 hours of facilitated learning sessions for children aged 0-4 years;
· 92 hours of facilitated learning sessions for children aged 5-11;
· 92 hours of facilitated learning sessions for children aged 12-18;
· 3,680 respite hours for carers
Other donations amounts are welcome and would be put towards these costs and other related costs such as, resources and specialists speech and language therapist sessions.
To challenge myself in a way befitting the tireless effort that this organisation puts in to changing lives day in day out I am taking part in the BC Bike Race in 2022. This challenge is the biggest thing I have ever put myself up for and it will take a concentrated effort to even get round let alone do the charity justice. The race itself takes place across British Columbia in Canada covering 300km (around 185miles) and climbs over 10,000m (around 32,500 feet) over the course of a week... that's equivalent to going up and down Ben Nevis every day for a week. I am really looking forward to this challenge so I am funding this entirely myself but more so I am looking forward to being able to help such an amazing charity continue to be able to change lives through this challenge and with your support.
