Who are we?

 

SENStory HQ is our organisation supporting children and young people with additional needs, their families and providers to access life-changing therapy, leisure and learning, through hippotherapy and Equine Facilitated Learning (horses!) and the beauty of the great outdoors. We also help parents and carers to navigate the SEN system, to overcome the challenges, red tape and endless pathways when pursuing a diagnosis and finding support, and we want to rewrite the SEN narrative so it's one that's rooted in equality, fun and accessibility for all.

Right now, we need your support more than ever to help as many children with additional needs and their families access vital therapy and support. Waiting lists for physiotherapy and specialist support via the NHS and in the private sector are growing longer, year by year. We want to help as many children as we possibly can to access life-changing therapy in a non-clinical, welcoming, child-friendly space that encourages them to thrive!

How? We want to create a brand new SENStory Hub - a space where our families can access essential physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy and learning in a warm and weatherproof space on site. The introduction of this building will mean that the space and the therapy it offers is accessible for all children, including those with limited mobility or physical disabilities. We also make it REALLY good fun (and that's what we're all about at SENStory HQ!) To make our dream possible, we need a weather-proof therapy space and we're aiming to raise £12,000 to help us build this fantastic Hub. It's a BIG ask but that's why we're asking for your help!

We know that measuring the joy our patients feel when they're a part of the SENStory family is pretty immeasurable but if you could count smiles, laughter, happy tears from progress and relief from parents and carers, then the answer would be huge. We want to give as many families as we can the opportunity to help their children thrive - your support allows us to reach more people and offer more services by expanding our capacity for patients.
