Happy Days Children's Charity provides day trips and short breaks to some of the UK's most vulnerable families. Last year, we supported over 20,000 children with mental and physical disabilities, life limiting conditions, children who have been abused and young carers. But we need your help to continue our vital work.

We are trying to give 34 children from a special educational needs school in Birmingham a wonderful theatre experience to have some fun with their classmates in a safe environment where they can shout and scream and make as much noise as they like. We are hoping to raise funds in time for this Christmas, so that they can visit the Birmingham Hippodrome to see a panto.

The children, aged 11 - 16, have autistic specturm disorder and severe learning difficulties and their circumstances mean that life and leisure opportunities can often be limited.

We'd be so grateful if you could help us raise £836 to make the children's wish a reality.
