Charity overview

Activities - how the charity spends its money

The aim of the charity is to finance specialist reports to enable children with special educational needs to access an appropriate education. Independent reports provide the parent with the necessary evidence required by the local authority before a placement is agreed. We listen to parents of children with Special Needs and provide a service to those who do not have the means to pay for this.
