Beeches

At Beeches, children with severe learning and physical disabilities come to enjoy a break in the care of expert staff, while their parents can also have a chance to recharge their batteries.

A vital part of the support and interaction with children of this kind is stimulation and so Rockinghorse wants to provide Beeches with a brand new multi-sensory room.

The room will have a variety of interactive components from lights that change when certain buttons are pressed to textures, sounds and even smells that can be triggered by the children themselves.

There will be patterns projected from the ceiling making shapes on the floor that the children can alter as they walk through them and a film and games area for the older children.

The new multi sensory room will make a real impact on the development of the children who visit Beeches. To achieve this Rockinghorse needs to raise £74,831.

Rockinghorse's fundraising at Beeches was launched on 11 May 2010 by newsreader Nicholas Owen. Click here to read about the launch.
