Social Wellbeing

    Home Social Wellbeing

    Last year we were successful in securing funding to continue the social and wellbeing grant for families.

     

    We shared the application process across social media streams, with our membership and via the SENCo’s network. We also reached out to other charities within the area and went directly to SENCo to help identify any families who had not previously accessed a grant who would benefit. It was important to us that we reached families that may not of known about the forum so wouldn’t necessarily access the
    support.

    The social wellbeing grant is something we hope will continue in the future.

    “We received the grant for our youngest boys. We requested Amazon vouchers and purchased a tablet, buoyancy jacket, and chews. The chews cost us £60 as they will only use specific ones and they helped hugely as we go through them quickly.

    “My eldest had grown out of his buoyancy jacket so this enabled him to take part in swimming again, and the tablet was a replacement for one which was broken and out of warranty. My boys rely heavily on their tablets at home for entertainment and regulation purposes.

    “We used this grant to help with my child’s hobby which is photography, so he was able to get a new lens for his camera which had better focus”.
