Just Think What’s Possible with your help
Percy Hedley Foundation is known as a practical charity providing much needed support and services for children and adults with complex disabilities and their families. All the money raised goes directly to provide vital specialist equipment, services and facilities in the North East. We are tremendously proud of what has been achieved with such generous support but are aware of what’s possible in the future.
Modern technology could transform the lives of people with severe disabilities. It could enable children without speech to communicate and those who cannot hold a book or pen to enter the world of learning. It could provide smart solutions in the home to increase independence and provide more opportunities for everyone to play a full and active role in the community. Young people are playing Powerchair Football for the first time, not just watching from the sidelines.
Current Appeals
Help us to give many more young people with disabilities a sporting chance.
The Academy for Disability Sports was officially opened in October 2005 and many children and young people with disabilities now have the opportunity to take part and compete in new and exciting sports. We are still fundraising to provide more specialist sporting and fitness training equipment so that many more young people with disabilities in the region have a sporting chance. To find out more please go to our Current Appeals page.
