Donation from the ASDA Foundation

28 Nov 2024

Thank you so much to the ASDA Foundation for your generous donation

At Raising Health, we are thrilled to share some exciting news and express our deepest gratitude to the ASDA Foundation for their generous donation of £1,200. This contribution will enable us to create a much-needed sensory room for our Children’s Physiotherapy team, which will be used to support young patients with developmental difficulties and sensory impairments.

The sensory room will be located at the Valentine Centre in Beaumont Leys. The  space will play a crucial role in enhancing the therapy sessions for these children, offering a safe, calming, and interactive environment to improve their gross motor skills, communication, and encourage relaxation. For many children, especially those with sensory impairments, traditional therapy spaces can be overwhelming. A sensory room provides an alternative space that is both therapeutic and comforting, offering sensory stimulation tailored to each child’s individual needs.

As these children grow, the sensory room will help foster important skills for leading an independent lifestyle, while also encouraging enjoyment and pleasure from the world around them. The benefits of this space will not only impact the children but also their families, who will learn more about their child’s needs through the use of specialist sensory equipment and toys.

With the £1,200 donation from the ASDA Foundation, we will be able to purchase wall and floor padding to ensure the space is safe for children as they explore, play, and engage in therapy activities. Additionally, we will acquire a range of sensory equipment including portable items that can be moved around and used during therapy sessions to provide stimulating and supportive experiences for the children.

We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Reshma, the Community Champion at ASDA Thurmaston who nominated our charity for this generous donation, as well as to the team at ASDA Abbey Lane and the ASDA Foundation for making this possible. Your support will have a profound and lasting impact on the children and families we care for, and we are truly grateful for your generosity.

At Raising Health, we are dedicated to improving the lives of the young patients we serve, and this sensory room will play a vital role in that mission. With your help, we are one step closer to making a significant difference in their lives.

Thank you again for your incredible support!
