Story
Scottish Enterprise has chosen two teams to battle for the title of Apprentice 2010 and our teams challenge is to do a "makeover" of Dove House in Lanark, which is currently occupied by Glenda, a cerebal palsy sufferer. "Glenda's Angels" have one day (May 20th) to transform her home (kitchen and lounge - see pics!) and a team of nine to do everything from fundraising to painting and laying carpets to make her house a home. She is so excited about this and we want to all we can to surpass her expectations, as well as leaving a legacy for Capability Scotland to be able to upgrade other houses that are used by those with CP. We are aiming to raise £5000 if possible throughout all our events but anything you can donate today will make a long term difference
Capability’s mission is to transform people’s expectations of what is possible and ensure that disabled people achieve equality. They do this by:
- Becoming the first choice for innovative personalised and sustainable services, which provide the necessary support so that disabled people can enjoy the same human and civil rights as everyone else.
- Forging strong and effective relationships through working with a range of organisations within the public, private and voluntary sectors concerned with disability.
- Exerting effective influence which ensures that laws are passed, which give disabled people equal human and civil rights and that attitudes are changed through campaigning, education and information.
