Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
On the 13th September I will be cycling the 55miles from London to Brighton to raise vital funds and raise awareness for a charity that is very close to mine and my families hearts. Here is a little about them and the amazing work they do for all of the children and their families they help, not least our very own Sonny Beau!
Small Steps helps children with physical disabilities, aged from birth to 5 years, work on all areas of their development, using the principles of conductive education. These children have cerebral palsy, other forms of motor impairment, syndromes, or sensory impairment. They need a great deal of extra stimulation and assistance to help them reach even the most basic milestones. At Small Steps, teachers, conductors and physiotherapists lead both parent and child through a structured programme designed to help each child achieve individualised developmental steps. The focus is very much on the positive; what children can and will achieve, with parents benefiting from the mutual support of shared experiences, on the emotional journey of having a disabled child. The work of Small Steps is a lifeline to families, and we would be extremely grateful for your support for this very worthy cause.
Small Steps sessions are 100% free. To remain accessible to all, there is no charge to families. The charity receives no statutory funding, so is solely dependent on charitable grants, fundraising, and donations. Raising sufficient funds is proving particularly challenging for Small Steps in the current financial climate.
No matter what the amount, every little bit donated will make a big difference. Please dig deep and help Small Steps continue their amazing work enhancing the lives of disabled children and their families.
Thank you.
