PODS is a parent carer/peer led charity with staff and volunteers who have the relevant ‘real life’ experience to support families who have a child with a disability or additional need (aged 0 – 25 years). Parent participation is at the heart of the forum, as parent carers can pinpoint problems frequently experienced by families with disabled children. This knowledge is useful to professionals in helping to improve how children’s services are delivered so they better meet families’ needs. PODS continues to ensure communication links exist between these families and the strategic decision makers. PODS also have a Befriender Scheme to help support parent carers who need it, they are supported by one-to-one befrienders in their home. A much larger number of parent carers can access emotional and practical support at the family groups, where experiences can be shared.

Story

Hi all, I have decided to challenge myself into getting fit & taking part in a charity boxing match. The charity I will be fundraising for is called ‘parents opening doors’(pods) based here in Telford and is a great place for parents of children with disabilities and additional needs to become involved, get support & take part in fun days that are inclusive to all. I have chosen this charity as I have Started taking my son to some of the sessions they run and he absolutely loves it and I think they do amazing work within the community for young people with disabilities.

This is an exciting challenge for me as I’m going to be dedicating myself to training and becoming fit. This is not about winning for me but taking part, having fun and proving to myself that anything you put your mind to is possible. This is also a opportunity for me to raise money on behalf of my son and get him to embark on the fitness journey with me so we will be doing this together and ultimately the money will be raised in his name for this charity.

I’ve set the target to £300 but any donation/ support is hugely appreciated. I would also love any friends or family to support by coming to the boxing match which will be in July and located over here but this will be a great opportunity to have a catch up & a great night after 🎉👌💯

Whatever money is raised I will donate the same amount 🎉🥳🤪
