TIVE LI IE vrrIE The playscheme originally started In 1977, and runs playschemes for special need children at l or more venues in West Sussex for several weeks each summer. The alm is to provide stimulating and new experiences for chlldren, some of whom might otherwlse spend their summer holiday confined to home or in respite, and also to enable parents and sibling members of their families to pursue the everyday holiday actlvlties that we all take for granted. The playscheme allows children with special needs to join in all the usual pursuits of children of their own age, with that extra supervisSon and careful planning put in place to enable them to participate fully wlthout creating an abnormal envlronment. The charity is a voluntary organisation and relies on the goodwill and support of the community to continue its work. It has a high adult'.child ratio, with a large number of team leadets and team of coordinators (ag well as first aiders) to ensure that it runs smoothly each day. At least 70 young volunteers from local schools and colleges help and support the attendees, along with volunteer drivers and escorts, who put in a great deal of time to ensure that the children have a fantastic time in a safe environment. The Trustees confirm that, in setting objectives and planning for attivities, they have referred and given due consideration to general guidance published by the Charity Commlsslon relating to public benefit, including the guidance "Public benefit: running a charity (PB2)-.
