Playscheme |
We hope to run a Playsceme again this year, probably in the first 2 weeks of the summer holiday. This is for children with a diagnosis of ASD. Now in his second year as Playscheme co-ordinator, John Scully is the person to contact to enquire about a place. See Newsletter for John's contact details - probably best to email if you can; co-ordinator@ntlworld.com. ...................................................................................................................................................................
Letter from Treasurer David, June 2009:
The HSGA Summer Playscheme has been a successful event now for over 10 years, and is the highlight of the summer holidays for many of our children. Starting with 15 children for one week, it has developed over the years into a large event, and many families are able to access this over a 3 week period.
Each year we need around £20,000 to provide a high quality Playscheme which we have been used to. We should be able to get financial support from Kirklees, but the amount at this stage is not certain. There are grants available from organizations such as the National Lottery and BBC Children in Need.
However, we will need to generate income ourselves to do this. Sponsored events, car boot sales, jumble sales, concerts, fashion shows etc … are the type of things we have done in the past to successfully raise money for events.
The committee of HSGA cannot do this alone – there are only 5 of us. We need the support of the whole group and especially the families who benefit from having a summer Playscheme. We would like to form a sub-committee, with the specific purpose of generating money for the Summer Playscheme. If you would like to join such a sub-committee, please contact one of the committee members.
David Woodhead
