“Mandy Buddle's fundraising”

on 14 April 2010

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
We’ve been developing Makaton for nearly 40 years. And in that time, we’ve made a huge difference to thousands of lives, breaking down the isolation people feel when they experience difficulties and can’t speak. We help people feel more connected to the world around them and give them a voice.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

                                             - Saturday 12thJune 2010 at Aldershot Pool    * * * * * * * * * * * *

                                          Thank you to everyone for your support and donations. 

                                           Post swim donations are also welcome thank you!!! :-D

I first encountered Makaton when working with Adults with a Learning Disability and was inspired to learn it too!  Makaton makes a huge difference to people with learning and communication disabilities giving them a means by which they can express their needs, wishes and news through the use of signing and symbols.  I trained as a Makaton Tutor so that I could teach family members, friends, carers and professionals Makaton so they can communicate with People with learning disabilities too.  My motto is “always and with everyone” that way everyone gets to join in!

 Your donations will help The Makaton Charity to help more people to communicate!

  My goal is to swim 1 Mile in 1 hour and I am in training already!
