YEAR 2002/2003
Over
the next year, our main aim is to improve the service and facilities for
children with disabilities and special needs.
The group aims to achieve this by :
·
Providing a sensory garden area suitable for children with disabilities.
Funding has already been applied for to achieve this.
·
Provide day-care for children with disabilities/special needs during the
6 week summer term. This will be
re-viewed subject to demand.
The
Centre has been designed through-out to allow for disabled access.
By improving the uses of the
Centre even further, will be of great benefit to the island as a whole.
· It will allow all the children to interact, providing them with both educational and recreational play. We will also involve them with outdoor interests in a garden designed for them to learn and play.
·
It will support families and carers.
·
It will encourage families to the island for holidays which will also have a positive impact on the economy such as
tourism, local businesses and local organisations e.g. Feis
· It will provide employment.
Fundraising Events will also be posted on this page.
