We'd like to thank The Baily Thomas Charitable Fund for their support in helping us reach more young people and their families through Making Moves. Many schools find it difficult to support pupils with disabilities and engage their parents, but we are able to develop bespoke lesson plans which maximises the benefit to their young people, enhance their wider curriculum and provide progression opportunities.

The Foundation also hosts monthly 'Disability Champions' workshops in partnership with Linrow Education to provide those working with young people and adults with a greater understanding of disabilities and mental health issues.
