Children, regardless of their abilities, should be able to access play facilities. A lack of facilities causes isolation not just for the child with additional needs, but the whole family. SPACE is a fully accessible play centre in Chester that offers play sessions, respite and parent carer support including counselling.

Our daughter Alice is a regular at SPACE. She is non verbal autistic. They offer support for us parents/carers from coffee mornings to play sessions. They provide our children with a safe place to play without any judgement. Alice loves playing on the trampoline, the spinning wheel and eating lots of crisps from the cafe. Her sister Rosa, also enjoys coming along too playing with Alice and other children and their siblings. Alice loves her after school club and attend house of dance at SPACE.  All the staff and volunteers are amazing, friendly and do anything to provide al families with support we need. 

Rich and I have decided to take part in Tough Mudder to help raise money for this great charity! Alice and Rosa are too young to take part. However I have signed them up to the fun run at Chester race course in May. 

Alice walks on her toes a lot so will be challenge for her. Hoping by raising money and awareness and supporting SPACE, us as family and you! can help raise money to help awareness for SPACE  to carry on with the fantastic support they provide for us all!
