The South Gwent Children’s
Foundation, launched the Sparkle Appeal in November 2003,
under the chairmanship of Sir Roger Jones, MBE, to raise £6million
to build a new children’s centre for the 1200 children
with disabilities in Newport, South Monmouthshire and South
Torfaen.
Currently services
for children with disabilities are scattered
all over the county, and children and their families
face daily difficulties accessing services in
facilities which were simply not built with the
disabled child in mind.

The answer is very simple – a
new children’s centre is needed; a place which has been
designed specifically with the needs of the disabled child
and their families in mind. A place they can call their own.
A place where they feel welcome, secure and cared for in the
best possible environment. A place where children and their
families can receive the widest possible range of treatments,
therapies, support and advice – under one roof.
The project has already benefited from the gift of a 14 acre site,
ensuring that the new centre will be so much more than a place where
children receive treatment, therapies or see doctors. At the heart
of the new centre will be places where children and their families
can meet and support each other, to play, to enjoy beautiful gardens – so
needed, so important – yet rarely available at the moment.
If you are able to help us in any way, you will be doing something
wonderful – you will be putting a little SPARKLE into the lives
of children who deserve as much support as we can give. |
