My Story

About us

My son Riley attended Springboard for 3yrs of his Early Years Education. Springboard came into our lives at a very low point for us, we knew Riley was different and didn't know how to help him or how to communicate with him. Springboard changed all of that; they listened to us, helped us to understand Riley and his ways, helped us to get his Autism diagnosis, and taught him how to use non-verbal communication, giving him a voice. They prepared him for his transition to his specialist primary school and ultimately gave him the absolute best start in his educational journey. They have made such a huge impact to our lives, making the whole family feel so welcome. Springboard have given us so much hope for the future and we will be forever grateful for everything they have given us.

Springboard is a charity that supports children (aged 0-5) with special needs and their families in North Wiltshire. They don't charge families to attend Springboard, they offer places based on need rather than ability to pay. This means that every year they need to raise £130,000 to remain operational. Please help me to raise funds for this fantastic charity so that they can continue to reach and help families like mine.
