Story
Help me raise money for FUN
For those of you who know me, you will know that my love of cheese, meat and wine is unparalleled. However for one month only I am challenging myself to a vegan, alcohol free exsistance in preparation for my April 10 mile run and in support of the amazing charity FUN.
FUN - charity commission number 1027046
A small Suffolk based charity which helps adults with learning difficulties to relieve or reduce such difficulty by providing fun through recreational facilities and activities; including providing respite care and support.
FUN was created by the parents of a young person with severe learning difficulties. It first started with occasional group summer day trips, with friends and family volunteering as helpers. Twenty years on and with 30 employees the charity now runs one respite care house which provides fun and respite to over fifty families and also three domiciliary care homes providing supported living for eight people.
The ethos remains the same, and that is to enable the guests and tenants to enjoy the activities they choose; to enjoy independence from their families; and to have a 'home from home'.
Although the supported living is funded by Suffolk County Council, the respite care provision for three guests at a time has to be funded by voluntary contributions and private donations. In this way, FUN can support over fifty families who would struggle to stay together without regular respite breaks.
With a dedicated team of six trained care support workers, and two wheel chair accessible vehicles, FUN can ensure guests have a great time, whether at the respite care home, or out and about.
Simultaneously, this relieves the pressure on the parent care givers, who are free to enjoy some time on their own.
A win-win situation! We sincerely thank you for any support you can give.
