Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page...

​I am raising funds for Ridgeway School in Kempston, an incredible special educational needs (SEN) school that holds a very special place in my heart. My wonderful grandson Jace is a pupil here, and I see firsthand the dedication, love, and specialist care the staff pour into every single child, every single day.

​🎲 Join Us for a Fundraising Bingo Night! 🎲

​To support the school's efforts to improve their facilities, we are hosting a fun-filled Bingo Night, and we would love to see you there!

​Time: Books are available to buy from 6:00 PM, with "Eyes Down" at 6:45 PM sharp.

​Why We Are Fundraising

​Ridgeway provides a safe, nurturing, and brilliant environment for children with a wide range of complex needs. However, during the warmer months, the classrooms and sensory spaces can get incredibly hot.

​For many of the pupils at Ridgeway, regulating their own body temperature can be a significant challenge. Extreme heat can lead to discomfort, distress, and sensory overload, making it harder for these amazing kids to learn, play, and thrive.

​The school is working toward the major goal of installing air conditioning to help solve this, but it’s a big project. While we know we can't cover the full cost on our own, we are determined to do our part and raise as much as we can to help them get there. Every contribution—whether through a bingo book or a donation here—goes directly toward making the school a more comfortable and accessible environment for the children.

​Thank You!

​Every single pound raised helps us support the school in this vital upgrade. If you can join us for bingo, make a donation, or simply share this page with your friends and family, it would mean the absolute world to me, the school, and most importantly, the brilliant children who attend.

​Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kindness and support!
