Story
Hi my name is Justin and I'm planning to complete a 10k swim on 26 Feb 2020 to help raise money for a new minibus for Chadsgrove School. My son has Alfi's Syndrome, a rare chromosome disorder, causing both learning and physical difficulties. He attends Chadsgrove School, which does great work and I'm proud to support.
Chadsgrove are in the process of putting in an application to the Lord’s Taverners for a new minibus and need to raise £28K within 9 months. Their current bus is showing signs of deterioration, It is starting to rust and the roof leaks so pupils and seats get wet during wet weather.
Can you help me raise money towards this great cause and donate £10 for 10k or as much as you feel you can.
Without this minibus they will struggle to continue with the current off-site visits available to our pupils. They currently use the minibus to allow pupils from Chadsgrove School to access opportunities in the community including:
Attending Outdoor Adventurous Activities as part of their P.E Curriculum, we would be able to take pupils sailing, ice skating (we can take the wheelchairs on the ice), zip wiring, the Wyre Forest story trail for younger pupils. These visit allow the pupils to develop self-confidence, resilience and achieve success which they can use to overcome obstacles they face daily
Allow the pupils to access sporting events including Lord Taverners Boccia, County Table Cricket, Panathlon, Powerchair Football and School Games events including Boccia, New Age Kurling, Arrows Archery and Pan Disability Football. These events allow the pupils to develop communication, team work and other social skills.
Transitioning – having the minibus enables pupils to visit Colleges, Day Centres, Work Experience Placements to help them make decisions and prepare pupils for their next steps
They often have to hire buses which are very costly, sometimes they are not available which means pupils cannot attend the competition or OAA event.
