I, along with other's, will be walking to 18 special school's all across Essex in just 5 day's. To put that into perspective that is just under 150 miles and works out to more than a marathon a day. The walk will not only raise funds but awareness of what makes a special school. Too many children leave education without having an understanding about our differences and it is the aim of council to change all that. We have worked with over 100 schools in Essex and the children generate all our ideas on how to break down perceptions - and this is just another example. We wish for our work in Essex to be replicated in other counties and eventually ensure SEND awareness forms part of our national curriculum. By supporting our walk you will generate funds that will give more children the platform to be heard and if we shout loud enough someone will hear us in the end.
