My son has Aspergers and for 3 long years we have been struggling to deal with mainstream school and the inadequate training that staff have to cope with children who shut themselves off due to their surroundings. Luckily he was excepted to go to the Orchard Centre, this is a very small facility run and funded by West Mids council. When we went for our initial tour of the school we were shocked to see how little they had. Book's, computer software and hardware is all very basic. Because they have to keep a very high ratio of staff to pupils alot of their money goes on that leaving little for anything else.
So on the 29th May I did a little walk of 18 miles to show that I was willing to put in the time, effort and pain to raise money for these lovely people.
So if you could please show some appreciation for my blisters and loss of toe nails that would be awesome.
Thank you
