Story
The
Lady Taverners Play Spaces Appeal has been set up to provide children with
disabilities the everyday opportunity to play.
'Play
time' is proven to improve children's physical and mental health, help develop
emotional responses, learning skills and improve basic numeracy and
literacy.
There are currently over 800,000 children under the age of 16 in the UK with a disability or a long-term medical condition, and due to lack of availability and funding, they may not have access to play areas adapted for their needs.
There are approximately 1,000 special schools across the
UK catering for children with severe learning and physical disabilities, it is
vital that these schools have access to suitable outdoor play equipment.
It is every child's right to experience the joy and
benefits of play, so donate today and help make it happen for children in the
UK living with a disability.
