## Activities

**Activities:** &#x27;It carries out activities or services itself&#x27;

**Purposes:** &#x27;the prevention or relief of poverty&#x27;,&#x27;the advancement of education&#x27;,&#x27;the advancement of religion&#x27;,&#x27;the advancement of health&#x27;

**What the charity does:** We support children and young people up to the age of 25 living with additional support needs and disabilities. Not only do we support the young person, we support the whole family unit - parents, carers and siblings. We own and maintain a fully adapted caravan in Ayrshire. This provides a safe, affordable, home from home holiday. Funding for these running costs ensures disabled children can enjoy fresh air and social play in a familiar environment with their families—a vital &#x27;stress-break&#x27; many of our families could not otherwise afford. We also run a summer play scheme offering structured and inclusive activities throughout the summer from day trips to relaxing days for the whole family allowing much needed interaction with peers and building relationships with other children and supportive adults.

**Objectives:** The objectives of the Forum shall be to relieve the needs and to promote the benefit of children with a physical, sensory, or mental impairment within the Area defined in Clause 2 above, by associating the statutory, voluntary and other organisations and inhabitants in a common effort to advance education and to promote integration within the community of those children who have any form of disability with able bodied children / people and to provide, or assist in the provision, of facilities in the interests of social welfare with the object of improving the condition of life for the said children and their parents / guardians.
