๐Ÿ’œ No products are completely free. The aim of this fund is to reduce the financial barrier to accessing specialist sensory equipment while helping as many families as possible benefit from the donation.

๐Ÿ’œ Each family may select up to two funded offers, subject to availability.

As a parent-led organisation, we understand that specialist sensory equipment can be expensive, and many families are facing increasing financial pressures. We hope this fund will make a meaningful difference to those who need a little extra support.

๐ŸŒˆ Together, we can make sensory support more accessible for everyone.

Please share this to anyone who would be benefitted from this funded offer.
