Fundraising for specialist communication equipment

Treloar School in Alton provides education and care for severely disabled children and young adults. The funds raised are to implement and bring assistance for communication, for example a chair that allows head support and also for vocal sound to be made by iPad touch.

Aims

The pupils at the school have Care Plans that cover needs but not for additional or revolutionary new technologies; beneficiaries are all the pupils and specific projects within the fundraising allocations.

Resources

Whole school charity – we raise money at school for this school’s charity status and chief projects.

Impact

Enormous focus for our schools’ mission – care of the community with tangible effects – we see where our money goes and have direct links/visits

The work is fantastic eg. bought ice cream holders so that pupils could do what we take for granted.

Frequency

Our support of the school is ongoing. Last year was particularly special since a pupil - the head girl - came to see us using the special chair we helped purchase, to make her debut public speaking.
