The Rotaract Club of Woking
PRESS RELEASE: Woking Rotaract Club donates £300 to Disability Challengers
The Rotaract Club of Woking is a social club which also helps the local community and raises money for Charity. The club recently donated £300 to Disability Challengers, a local charity providing play, leisure and respite to disabled children and young people.
The charity recognises that play is an essential learning activity for all children. Important life skills such as communication, co-ordination, motor and social skills are learnt through play. Often, disabled children are excluded from participating in challenging, exciting and adventurous play - either because mainstream recreational facilities fail to cater for particular needs, or because of prejudice or simply a lack of understanding in the community at large. Disability Challengers aims to fill this gap by providing suitable leisure opportunities for all children.
Their facilities are impressive, including a huge purpose designed play structure, a multisensory suite (including the best chill out room ever - see photo!), a soft play area and bouncy castles.
Disability Challengers is the second of three local charities to receive a donation of £300 from funds raised by Woking Rotaract. Shown in the photo are members of Woking Rotaract presenting the cheque to Natalie Walters from Disability Challengers.
Rotaract is a club open to anyone between the ages of 18-30 who want to make new friends, participate in a variety of activities and sports events, and try to raise money for charity along the way.
