Disability Challengers is passionate about delivering play opportunities to any disabled children, regardless of the profoundness of their impairment. Through our full-time centres in Guildford and Farnham and our satellite schemes across the county, we deliver some 16,000 child places every year to over 1,100 children. And, of course, by delivering these child spaces, we are also giving a much-needed short-break to their family.
Sadly, this is still not enough as we estimate that for every
disabled child that uses our services, three more are desperately
waiting to access our play and leisure schemes.With our annual turn-over now reaching £1million we rely on the
kindness and generosity of individuals, community groups, business and
charitable trusts and grant making foundations to enable us to continue
running these vital services.' (Challengers official statement)
The team are all involved in the work of challengers, either in the summer holidays when back from uni, or over weekends with the schemes that run all year round. Seeing the need for expansion we decided to embark on an adventure in order to raise both awareness of the work Challengers does, and money to help expansion and inclusion of more disabled children and young adults.
