Receiving a diagnosis can be a devastating time for all concerned and families and individuals can often feel isolated and not sure of where to turn for information, advice and practical support.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 258.0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">During 2010, over 1,000 children and adults will turn to the Foundation for Conductive Education for support through our on-site services, workshops, training and outreach projects.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 258.0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The Foundation for Conductive Education offers a whole of life solution to managing a motor disorder condition. It does not set arbitrary barriers on achievement but rather guides and teaches individuals how to overcome these as one large step towards improving quality of life for them and their family.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 258.0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Conductive Education offers a positive solution and hope for the future.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 258.0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;">We are trying to raise money towards their child service as their current funder, Zurich Community Trust, Which has part funded the foundation for the past five years will be ending<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>their<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>financial support very soon. </span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 258.0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Last year the foundation supported 45 children in the parent and child service, with 27 living in the West Midlands area. One of the children who have attended the school for the last two years is my daughter Eva Abley, Eva was born with mild brain damage which resulted in her having Cerebral Palsy. From a personal point of view I do not think Eva would be doing as well as she is without the help she has received from the school. The work they do is amazing and I am very grateful for their support. Eva has become very confident and a very independent child; I look forward to Eva&rsquo;s future improvements, thanks to everyone at the school.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 258.0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As you can see the school/charity is very close to our heart as everyone getting involved in the charity event is all family and friends of Eva.</span></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; tab-stops: 258.0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">If you would like to sponsor us we would be very grateful, you could do this in several ways firstly each fund raiser will have a sponsor form, or you could donate via our just giving website which is </span><span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.justgiving.co.uk/grandunioncanalconductiveeducation">www.justgiving.co.uk/grandunioncanalconductiveeducation</a></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: small;"> .
