GRANT AWARDED - Unique Kidz and Co
The 3R Foundation has awarded £500 to Unique Kidz & Co in Morecambe, which they used to purchase a new sensory activity wall for their Kidz Club playroom. This provides children with disabilities aged 5-19 with a sensory experience that is accessible for all, including those in wheelchairs.
The board includes different elements that stimulate the senses and will be suitable for a wide range of children that attend Unique Kidz and Co including those with severe disabilities.
Unique Kidz and Co is a place to play, have fun, make friends and be unique for children and young adults aged 0-30 with disabilities. They do this by providing a number of services including afterschool clubs, holiday clubs, weekend clubs, daytime support for young adults, stay and play sessions for under 5's, a siblings group and a toy library. They were founded in 2009 by two mums of disabled children who were unable to find suitable childcare for their own disabled children.
We visited them today and were shown around by fundraiser Chris and we have to say we were blown away by the work they are doing, and the smiles on everyones faces said it all. This was certainly helped by the lovely smell of cakes baked by some of the young adults, ready for the buses arriving with the children coming to afterschool club.
They are currently seeking messages of support for a planning application to create vitally needed extra building space and develop the neighbouring field to provide additional activity spaces, alongside an accessible bike track, sensory gardens and dedicated play spaces.
