Sewell FM’s 30-year fundraiser

Sewell FM turns 30 this year, and to celebrate, we’re going to spend the full year raising money for organisations that are close to our hearts.

The team have a whole host of events planned from running challenges to bake sales – and everything in between to support the fundraising.

With the money raised, £15,000 will be donated to fund the reconfiguration for the Sensory Garden at Hob Moor Oaks Academy in York, which Sewell FM have worked with for many years.

Hob Moor has a simple ethos – to provide life changing learning to every child, irrespective of any learning difficulties they may have and regardless of their gender, race, colour, religious beliefs or family background. The inclusive school supports pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) to make the best possible progress in school, with access to sensory rooms and a hydrotherapy pool. The sensory garden will create a fantastic opportunity for the school to offer an inclusive area where SEND pupils can learn about biodiversity and the environment.

The rest of the money will be donated to a local Hospice in Hull. The team at the Hospice work tirelessly to ensure the best possible care is provided to the people of Hull and East Yorkshire, when they need it most. Patients and families are at the heart of everything they do, whether we are caring for people at the end of their lives, providing therapies to help people with life limiting illnesses improve their quality of life, or giving much needed bereavement support to grieving families.
