Donation from Sovereign Health Care
We are delighted to be one of the chosen charities to be supported by the Sovereign Health Care Community Programme.
Sovereign is a Bradford-based company, which has been concerned with the health and wellbeing of local people for over 149 years and this ethos is reflected in the community organisations and charities they support.
Through the Community Programme, we have received a donation of over £3,486, which will help to fund our stay and play sessions.
These sessions provide an opportunity for children to play, make friends and take part in activities such as music therapy and arts and crafts, in a safe and welcoming environment. They are also a chance for parents and carers to get together and talk to other parents who may have similar experiences.
SNAPS hires specially trained teachers to deliver classes such as sign and sing, dance and drama, which the children love taking part in. These classes are important as children aren’t able to attend the mainstream versions, and they help to develop confidence, creativity and expression.
Russ Piper, Chief Executive at Sovereign Health Care, says: “SNAPS plays an important role in the lives of children and families in West Yorkshire and it’s rewarding to know our donation can make such a difference to the Stay and Play sessions they provide”
Lisa Morton, senior fundraising manager at SNAPS, adds: “Everyone at SNAPS was delighted to receive such a generous donation from Sovereign Health Care! This donation will allow SNAPS to continue providing vital services while further developing our services to meet local need. We are so grateful to have been selected.”
