Story
This year I will be participating in 2 events to raise money for Louie’s Helping Hands.
On the 27th January I will be walking a marathon with John Matthews and many other participants around the Kentish Coast.
On the 18th March I will be tackling the MYPT Assault course at Betteshanger in Deal, Kent.
The money raised will go towards Louie's Helping Hands that supports children with multi-sensory impairments and complex physical & medical conditions who attend The Llewellyn School & Nursery. This is a new and small independent school started after the sudden closure of the 'Deaf' school in Margate 2015. Many of these children were left without a school provision due to their complex medical conditions. Louie's Helping Hands provides valuable therapies to the children such as Hydrotherapy, Soft play, Music therapy and Art therapy. Combined regularly these therapies all helps to increase confidence, independence and help develop the children's social interaction, enabling them to form friendships with peers. Not to mention it also has huge medical benefits, it helps to improve core and muscle strength and also posture, which has lead to several pupils now to taking their 1st steps. The school has been so successful the charity are now also fundraising to help relocate and build a new school, as they have out grown the existing one currently set up in Sara Llewellyn's ( one of the mothers who's son was left without a school provision for almost two years) home.
Our aim is to help children with multi-sensory impairments and physical difficulties to increase confidence, independence and help develop their social interaction enabling them to form friendships with peers; to improve their muscle strength and posture by ensuring their complex needs are met by a high quality, bespoke provision that challenges and promotes achievable expectations; with 1:1 tuition and therapeutic activities such as hydrotherapy, horse riding, art, music and cooking therapy and soft play.
