S.N.A.P. (SPECIAL NEEDS ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND) LTD’s Post

Today is #InternationalWheelchairDay, the perfect day for me to share that on Sunday 21st April I will be wheeling the 2024 London Marathon to support Whizz Kidz. Over 75,000 young people in the UK need to use a wheelchair to be mobile. Unfortunately, they cannot access the equipment that meets their needs through local services. Whizz Kidz are there for all of them. Whizz Kidz are the UK’s leading charity supporting young wheelchair users up to 25 years old. They empower young wheelchair users with the equipment, support, and confidence-building experiences they need to take an active role in society. The Whizz Kidz goal is to create a movement for progress towards a more open and accessible world. All donations will go towards Whizz Kidz who will help support young wheelchair users in a number of ways. For example: 🟡 £45 could pay for a young wheelchair user to attend their local Whizz Kidz Club for an hour, reducing social isolation, and providing an opportunity to gain confidence. 🟡 £260 could enable Whizz Kidz to see a young person and their family at a local Mobility Clinic, where Therapists and Engineers will assess their needs and handover the right piece of equipment. 🟡 £1,000 could enable Whizz Kidz to provide an adapted trike for a disabled child. These adapted trikes give children a safe and fun way to exercise. 🟡 £3,700 could enable Whizz Kidz to provide a manual wheelchair for a disabled child, which is comfortable, well-fitting, and lightweight. 🟡 £5,500 could enable Whizz Kidz to provide a powered wheelchair, helping a child to participate fully at school and in social activities and allowing them to keep up with siblings and classmates. If you are able to, donations can be made via https://bit.ly/2024-LM thank you 💛 #InclusionRevolution #MoveALifeForward #LondonMarathon #Fundraising #Wheelchair #BeTheDifferenceGoTheDistance

But we have many other funds available for local organisations across the Midlands.

Housing education of lower-income households without production of new units is a straight up scam. We need to focus on tackling the source of the problem instead of just educating households for disappointment. While DP programs are good, they cannot replace new units. It's important to acknowledge that some nonprofits are doing great work, but we need to stop the charade and put our efforts into producing new units. Let's work together to find real solutions to this problem. #affordablehousing #nonprofits #housingcrisis

Released just ahead of #BlackHistoryMonth, the latest report from the National Committee for Responsive Philanthropy shows how racially discriminatory, exclusive, and exploitative practices contributed to the building of wealth in the DMV and offers a framework for foundations to address their own history and "repair, heal and restore local communities harmed by the actions and decisions that created charitable wealth." Developed with funding from if, A Foundation for Radical Possibility, the report focuses on four sectors--media, housing, employment, and healthcare--and includes case studies of eight foundations.

Ever wondered where your charity dollars really go? I did too. Until I discovered something unique. Last night, Meg Baruta and I attended P500's vote night. It's different. P500 pools donations for maximum impact. Half invested for the future, half + 4% from the endowment fund, granted now. Last night's decision? Tiny Dots Early Intervention. Our $79K grant will help them make 2 big changes. 1 - Provide weekly screening sessions for parents concerned their baby may have a disability or impairment. 2 - Hire a staff member to educate the community on what signs indicate potential disabilities/impairments in children under 2 years old.
