President's Charity for the year 2011/12:
Kangaroos

Kangaroos whose motto is Enriching Young Disabled Peoples’ Lives is my chosen charity this year.

Kangaroos

Since 1994 Kangaroos have run a wide range of recreational activities for children and young adults with learning disabilities. Many of whom have additional behavioural, physical or sensory problems as well as a number with Autism and Epilepsy.

The members are offered a wide range of opportunities to have fun with their peers and enjoy new experiences away from their parents. Activities that others take for granted but they can only enjoy with support and structure. The various activities cater for age groups from 6 to 30 and are run by qualified, experienced staff together with young volunteers.

I have chosen Kangaroos having been, (in the past) one of their Trustees I saw what valuable work they do and the difference it makes to individual lives. Funding their projects is very expensive mainly because they require a high staff/member ratio to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for the children and young adults.

All charities are finding raising funds and getting grants more difficult in the present economic climate and I felt it would be good to support this local charity. Kangaroos, has an excellent website should you wish to find out more about them, click here
