Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We need your help to support our fundraising efforts in our 2019 Garden Makeover project for WellChild Helping Hands. We want to give children the chance to play in a safe and secure environment within their own home which is why we're supporting WellChild for the 3rd year running.

This year we're helping JR, a 16 year old boy from London. JR has ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). He has learning difficulties, sensory needs and high levels of anxiety and hyperactivity.

We want to give JR a garden where he can play and enjoy spending time in. We intend to raise the fencing as currently he tries to escape into the neighbours garden. We would remove the overgrown shrubs and small brickwall, level out the uneven ground ready to lay new artificial grass. This would be a suitable and soft surface for JR to play on and protect him if he falls. We would love to add some sensory equipment to the garden to allow him to burn off excess energy in a safe and secure
environment and improve his wellbeing.
