I have been an active member of the Dreamdrops charity since 2008 raising money to provide those little extras for children with special needs including sensory equipment to provide stimulation, days out and gifts to make life a little more special.
I also liaise with local Rotary and Round Table Clubs who
provide support and funding for the Dreamdrops charity and recently became a Governor for the Riverside Meadows Academy for children with social, emotional and mental needs.
