To inspire other applicants and to celebrate the amazing projects being undertaken around the constituency, here are brief details of activities that the Constituency Fund has supported.
Kite Sessions at Westfield School
“Our KITE sessions deliver accessible, inclusive activities to disabled young people aged 25 and under. The sessions facilitate friendship-building, hands-on learning experiences, physical activity, creativity, and skill development among the participants. The young people also get to have fun, whilst we provide essential respite to their families, helping to promote family resilience and prevention of reaching ‘crisis point’.”
Kite Sessions at Marches Family Network
‘Without funding from the Constituency Fund, we would not have been able to run this session, enabling disabled children and young adults to access an opportunity to take part in activities and socialise with each other. We are very grateful for the generosity shown to us by Ellie Chowns’ – Meg Chambers, session leader
‘My daughter was able to go somewhere to be with friends in a safe and accepting environment , to be confident to be herself without judgement.’ – Parent of an attendee
