Who are we?
SENStory HQ is our organisation supporting children and young people with additional needs, their families and providers to access life-changing therapy, leisure and learning, through hippotherapy and Equine Facilitated Learning (horses!) and the beauty of the great outdoors.
We also help parents and carers to navigate the SEN system, to overcome the challenges, red tape and endless pathways when pursuing a diagnosis and finding support, and we want to rewrite the SEN narrative so it's one that's rooted in equality, fun and accessibility for all.
Why are we Fundraising?
Right now, we need your support more than ever to help as many children with additional needs and their families access vital therapy and support.
Waiting lists for physiotherapy and specialist support via the NHS and in the private sector are growing longer, year by year.
We want to help as many children as we possibly can to access life-changing therapy in a non-clinical, welcoming, child-friendly space that encourages them to thrive!
How?
We want to create a brand new SENStory Hub - a space where our families can access essential physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy and learning in a warm and weatherproof space on site. The introduction of this building will mean that the space and the therapy it offers is accessible for all children, including those with limited mobility or physical disabilities.
We also make it REALLY good fun (and that's what we're all about at SENStory HQ!)
To make our dream possible, we need a weather-proof therapy space and we're aiming to raise £12000 to help us build this fantastic Hub. It's a BIG ask but that's why we're asking for your help!
How we’ll spend the money raised
All money raised will go to the building, funding and upkeep of the brand new SENStory Hub.
Community impact
We know that measuring the joy our patients feel when they're a part of the SENStory family is pretty immeasurable but if you could count smiles, laughter, happy tears from progress and relief from parents and carers, then the answer would be huge.
We want to give as many families as we can the opportunity to help their children thrive - your support allows us to reach more people and offer more services by expanding our capacity for patients.
How you can play your part
There are four simple ways to help us reach our target, and make this project a reality.
1. Make a donation. Don’t delay if you’re going to support us because momentum is key to our success! Your help is EVERYTHING to us and we are SO grateful for your support.
2. Spread the word. Share our project on your social media pages and tell the world to get behind us! The more people we reach, the more support we will get.
3. Offer sponsorship. If you're a business, get involved with us! We would LOVE to talk to you about how we can support your business in return for sponsorship!
4. Fundraise for us. If you want to run your own fundraiser – maybe a sponsored activity or similar contact us via hello@jomcmeechan.com to let us know. Setting up your own page only takes a few minutes and you won’t need any bank details. Just a fun idea!
