HANFA - Helping Additional Needs Families
Young People
We need funding to continue to offer experiences, excursions and activities to young people with additional needs.
About this cause
We give care and support to young people with additional needs as well as providing respite for their families. We provide a Youth Club and a Summer Scheme which runs for 16 days over the summer and takes place in Sandbach. We aim to :- - offer quality care for young people with disabilities - provide respite for carers - work with community organisations to provide opportunities for young people to work in a voluntary capacity with children additional and complex needs. We aim to offer our young people experiences that enrich their lives and give them opportunities to experience things that they may not otherwise have access to such as canoeing, pottery, boat trips etc We would like to request that you consider our small but very important charity in your future fund raising plans.
How this cause brings people in the community together
We provide a fortnightly Youth Club for 10 to 18 year olds in Alsager and a Summer Scheme for 6+ year olds which runs for 16 days over the summer holidays and takes place at the Wesley Centre in Sandbach. Families from all over Cheshire access our service. Whilst offering valuable respite for parents and carers we also offer a wide range of educational, social and leisure activities to our young people which helps to develop their sense of belonging and gives them new experiences. We also give experience to local volunteers who work with us and develop their own knowledge of young people with additional needs. We work hard to ensure that we can continue to provide a high standard of care and much needed support to families with additional needs within the local community.
