Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my page. I am running the Winchester marathon to help families who have a child on the autistic spectrum. It is totally scary how hard it is to get support at home, at nursery and at school to help the necessary support and therapy a child needs who is on the autistic spectrum. To discover your child is on the autistic spectrum is a totally devastating experience and families struggle to cope and get the required help they need.

The Playhouse Foundation helps families with limited means to gain access to therapy for their child so they can then put their case to the local education authority and their local school to put a solid program in a mainstream school.

My own personal experience of fighting for funding and a place at a local mainstream school has shown me how hard this is and so many families are failed by the system.

Your donations will go to a small, local charity where your money will go directly to the families to start their autism therapy for their child. Every pound will change the life of a child and their parents.

Please do give generously to the worthy and wonderful charity and help change a life.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
