Fundraising Sky Dive

On September 21st, 8 fearless supporters took to the skies to raise £4,318 for the Jan Kench Sensory Room at Bryn Siriol!  

This helped make massive progress towards the £25,000 target to create a sensory toom for the people we support at the Bryn Siriol Respite Centre. So we have to say a massive thank you to all of you

We saw powerful presentations about the need for improved community support for people with a learning disability and autistic people. A hospital is not a home.
