Today, this amazing man called Leigh will be fundraising outside our shop for a few hours. He is running his second marathon for us at Sense NEXT SUNDAY 😀😀😀😀... Please please pop down and give him some Support and there will be donation buckets around for any spare change you'd like to give. He and the team have worked so hard as last year we all trained and then it became the virtual. NEXT WEEK its the real deal in London and we are so excited for Leigh. The picture is when he completed the half marathon earlier for sense. He is simply wonderful and he volunteers for our shop when he can. So give him a shout out later today. ❤️❤️❤️

Good evening everyone.
Everyday most of us use amazon, argos and Pets at home to name just 3 sites. Did you know if you download the easy fundraising app and shop at these sites via this app you can raise money for Sense. It may only be pence per sale but pennies add up to £ 's and this all helps Sense carry out its vital work.
The app have 100's of sites to shop from. It doesn't cost anything to use but the benefits to whichever charity you nominate, although we'd hope it was us, is enormous.
❤️❤️❤️

We are joining with Maureen and to call for the Government to fund dedicated catch-up funding in services for disabled children and families, such as therapies and respite, to address the disproportionate impact they have felt during the pandemic, stop them being and to allow them to heal.

We need to build a better future for disabled children and families, a fairer system of support that means every disabled child can have access to the services they need to manage their condition and development, have a great education, and the best possible start to life.

1 in 3 disabled people told us they don't feel strongly connected to their local communities.

We’re calling for more support from local and national govt to tackle loneliness, promote accessibility and involve disabled people in the planning of new spaces. And you can take action too – find out how -

Abi Reese and her colleagues took on a 332-mile challenge for Sense, walking the distance between their offices! They were inspired by Abi’s brother, who is deafblind and lives in Sense accommodation in Birmingham.

Thank you Abi and your colleagues for raising over £450!
