Short Term Breaks (July and August)
From 5pm July 23rd to 6th August 2010, The West of England School and College is offering short term breaks for young people with physical disabilities, learning disabilities and complex needs. The opportunities will provide new and exciting experiences for the young people using the service.
Set in 14 acres just outside Exeter and close to the M5, our facilities include a 25 metre heated indoor pool plus hydrotherapy pool, which has hoists for easy access, sports hall and gym, a sensory room fitted with the latest technology including Sound Beam, a state of the art radio station where guests can become DJ's for the day.
With our partners we will also be able to provide a variety of stimulating and challenging activities such as Art and Design, Sport and Independent Living Skills. Activities will be tailored to individual requirements.
Depending on demand, this new service will continue during holiday periods from September 2010.
Any parent or carer interested in finding out more please contact Paula Lahey on 01392 454209.
WNW Design's 10th birthday marks exciting new charitable initiative
Exmouth based website design company, WNW Design, is celebrating its 10th birthday this month with a very special initiative to raise money for our charity.
WNW Design has been supporting clients' websites since the millennium and to celebrate their 10th year in business they will be donating £100 to our charity for each new webhosting client throughout 2010.
WNW Design director Nigel Wilkinson said "Instead of a big party to mark our birthday we wanted to do something different and give something back to our community."
Robin Rhoderick-Jones, West of England trustee said: "I have been involved with the West of England for 20 years and this is the first initiative of its kind I can remember. Our grateful thanks go to WNW Design for their generosity."
Family Group
We provide opportunities for families to attend VI skills awareness training sessions. The aim is to help parents and families feel more confident about supporting the development of these important skills at home.
Family Group meets on a Monday afternoon between 1.00pm and 3.00pm. The group provides a ‘drop in’ facility for young visually impaired children (0-5s) and their parents to meet with other parents and staff in order to share experiences and advice over a coffee and chat.
