A long term ambition has been realised!! Having been involved in fund raising activities and other committees, I have now identified a cause and secured the assistance of other trustees in setting up a new charity: PL-ease.
The Trust deed (dated 30th March 2008) has been signed by the four initial trustees. The aim of the charity is to raise funds to allow for the provision of specialist items, equipment, resource and support which may be required by children with complex needs in areas covered by a "PL" postcode.
The intention is to provide funding where other sources (e.g. local authority, other charities etc) are unable to support for whatever reason. The charity will not be registered until we can show that our annual income is likely to exceed £5000 - the level for charities to officially become registered. This sets a challenging target for the first year!
Fundraising activities are being discussed and arranged. More later...
Hopefully, this will be the start of a great adventure exercising minds, skills and resource in an effort to raise funds to improve the lives of young children with complex needs.
