Story
Hello everyone,
On 29th June, I will be running the Gloucester 10K to fundraise for Friends at Bettridge (FAB). 10K is equivalent to 6.2 miles and will be the furthest I have run! Any donations will be hugely appreciated and, of course, will help to keep my motivations up for this event.
FAB raises funds for the benefit of young people who attend Bettridge School - a community special school based in Cheltenham. Most pupils at Bettridge have severe or profound learning difficulties. I am fortunate enough to work at this fantastic school and to work with the wonderful pupils who attend Bettridge.
FAB funding helps to provide experiences, equipment, or opportunities for the young people at Bettridge. This includes some annual events (e.g. Prom, end-of-year trips, celebrations for student leavers), as well as unique resources. Recently, FAB have launched the 'Sharing Shed' - a purpose-built shed filled with goods that can be shared amongst the Bettridge Community free of charge, including uniform, food, toys, and books. This also provides work experience opportunities for some of our post-16 students!
In future, FAB would like to use raised funds to support the experience had by our young people when using the hydrotherapy pool by funding resources to increase the multi-sensory nature of a hydrotherapy session at Bettridge.
Please support me in raising funds for FAB which, in turn, makes a huge difference to the educational experiences of Bettridge students.
Thank you for your support!
Sophie
