Volunteers needed

LOOKING after 70 children with physical disabilities and special needs every day for four weeks is a tough challenge '“ from co-ordinating transport for these children to organising trips and outings and daily activities to keep our children busy and happy.

Chanctonbury Community Playscheme is run by volunteers who organise, co-ordinate and fundraise all year round to enable them to deliver this fantastic scheme for our children.

I would like to say a huge thank-you to all the staff and all the helpers that attended this year because without you the scheme would not be able to run.

Most of the helpers are students from local high schools and colleges that volunteer four weeks of their time to care for our children and help them to take part in the activities and be their buddy.

Not forgetting the mini-bus drivers who also volunteer their time collecting and dropping off our children.

The whole operation is run with such precision and so well organised.

As this is a very small charity it is not very well known and I would like to take this opportunity to maybe highlight this very worthwhile cause and ask if there are any local organisations or businesses out there that are looking for a charity to help out please consider this one as without this playscheme our children would not be able to take part in a lot of activities and make friends and be able to enjoy their summer holidays.

My son has been so happy and thoroughly enjoyed himself and made some friends along the way.
