Special Wheels Appeal 2023 - donate towards an urgently needed minibus for The Brook Special Primary School
Published: 07 December 2023
TVF’s Special Wheels Appeal is aiming to raise £18,370 to help fund an urgently needed minibus for The Brook Special Primary School, Tottenham, which will provide vital transport for youngsters with complex needs during term time and the holidays. All of the children at The Brook have an Educational Health Care Plan. Their needs mean it is extremely difficult for many of the children to access public transport, their mobility issues mean that the majority of pupils are picked up on a transport route facilitated by the local authority.
The school's commitment to its families is such that it also provides a daily transport route for families who do not qualify or who are unable to access school transport routes; the school is responsible for a breakfast and afterschool provision both for its children and the local community (many ex pupils who have moved on to secondary schools) and it also provides respite during school holidays. This helps many of its families to be able to stay together, prevents safeguarding issues and provides continuous provision for many of the children. The school also uses its minibuses weekly to delivery food from the Felix project to its families, as well as collecting and distributing a generous donation of bread from Warburtons on a weekly basis to help vulnerable families and the wider local community. The school urgently needs to replace at least one of its minibuses to ensure it can continue to provide vital transport for the children.
Please donate now to help TVF raise £18,370 so that The Brook Special PrimarySchool can get the new minibus it so desperately needs.
