Christchurch trust donates £11,574 to The Treehouse
The Treehouse, which is in Hurn on the site of the former Adventure Wonderland, has received funding from The Christchurch Magdalen Trust.
The Treehouse in Hurn, which is run by Dorset’s disability charity Diverse Abilities, has received a donation of £11,574 from The Christchurch Magdalen Trust.
The short breaks service delivered at The Treehouse, formerly Adventure Wonderland, supports children and families with sessions during the school holidays, weekends and evenings, as well as drop-in sessions during the week for young children and those who are home schooled.
The money will allow the charity to provide 100 four-hour play sessions to families living in Christchurch during the school holidays.
These sessions are a lifeline to these families, who may otherwise feel isolated, exhausted and alone as they navigate bringing up a child with disabilities. Sessions are provided for families to attend together, accessing activities that they may be unable to offer elsewhere due to accessibility, fear of judgement or just needing an extra pair of hands. There are also sessions for the children to attend alone with support from the charity’s Short Break Crew, giving the child independence and parents the knowledge they are being well looked after.
Sessions are also provided for siblings and parents to ensure that the whole family is supported.
