Update on 11 Feb 2020 - Thanks to the amazing generosity of Vivid Lifts, we have been able to reduce the target needed to £14,000. This is around £10,000 less than we were first quoted from another company when it first broke. We are thrilled that Gary and his team are able to support us.

UPDATE on 2 Feb 2020 - Big thanks to everyone who has helped us so far by either donating or raising awareness of the appeal. It really means a lot to us.

A HUGE thanks to Hartlepool Round Table for their overwhelmingly generous donation of £1000 received offline !!! We are getting close to the magic total and look forward to restoring normal service.

OK, so the photo above is not the most inspirational but it does sum up our predicament perfection. Our lift within One77 has died and cannot be repaired. As such a new lift is needed and quickly.

We are devastated as it is essential to our work in supporting children with disabilities access our services. The costs of replacing it range considerably but we have been able to source one from a trusted local supplier who can install it fairly quickly.

We support literally hundreds of different children each week in our centre and some of which have mobility and physical disabilities and cannot access some of our rooms without the lift. It's not possible to bring everything down to the ground floor and some of our children are missing out on the full range of services until we can raise the funds and replace the lift.

We appreciate any support you are able to give, regardless of the amount - everything can make a difference !

In the meantime, here is a photo which is a little more inspiring ..... go on, make a pledge, what you waiting for ?
