    Story

    Our son is waiting for an official autism spectrum disorder diagnosis, as everyone knows this can take years. In this time we have to live with the difficulty of his lack of danger awareness 24 hours a day, the most difficult time being bedtime every evening. Keeping him in bed is impossible, which is very unfair to our other son who he shares a room with. So we have to find ways of locking him into his lower bunk every night. Yes, this is as awful as it sounds.
    www.creativecareltd.com create safe space environments for both children and adults with autism. There safe space beds would be perfect for Heath. Most parents with autistic children will tell you the same story, we fear for our children's safety constantly, we fear they will get out of bed at night and hurt themselves, even escape from the house if they wanted to. Once that impulsivity takes over them they have to follow through with what they want to do.
    We are raising funds in every way possible to reach our target so we can provide our child with an environment where he will feel comfortable and somewhere we can finally have some peace of mind that he's safe.

      The crowdfunding page expires in a few days, for my next phase of raising funds myself and my business partner intend on organising a race in early September. She will be swimming the 10 mile length of lake Windermere and I will be running the 30 miles around it. We will provide more details of this on Facebook when the organisation is confirmed. Thank you again for all your generosity.

      Thank you to all of you that have donated to our crowdfunding page. We've been able to lower the amount we required thanks to £600 raised by a few good friends during dry January. My mum is also raising funds by running this year's London Marathon, 30 years after running her first and only marathon.

    What is crowdfunding?

    Crowdfunding is a new type of fundraising where you can raise funds for your own personal cause, even if you're not a registered charity.

    The page owner is responsible for the distribution of funds raised.

    Great people make things happen

    Do you know anyone in need or maybe want to help a local community cause?

    Create you own page and donʼt let that cause go unfunded!
