Story
As many of you know, my eldest child, Teddy, is diagnosed with autism. Centrepoint offer the only after school club and full time holiday club on the island as well as weekend respite. Without their amazing support Teddy wouldn't be given as many opportunities as he gets such as gymnastics, boat trips and just a safe place to enjoy life. It also allows time to be focused on our other kids and give them some extra focus whilst his needs are focused on for a time by Centrepoint's brilliant staff.
Running this 40-mile cliff path traverse of Jersey's north coast in both directions is to help raise funds for the replacement of the portacabins used by the special needs unit with state of the art buildings that have all the equipment to provide for the needs of all those that attend.

Our Purpose is to make childcare possible for every family in Jersey. We promote the welfare of children by providing child-first, leading-quality childcare in nurturing environments within our nurseries, playcare and special needs centres. At Centrepoint we provide the absolute best possible start for children supporting their emotional, physical and mental development through exploration, learning and play. To ensure optimum care for our 600+ children each year, the charity's operating costs are now £1.9m per annum. Thanks for your support.
