St John the Baptist Quinton - We support
Quinton with Preston Deanery
Before
the cessation of the Diocesan link with Bungoma we achieved our aim of bringing
electricity into the school which then enabled us to bring in piped water and
to construct multiple latrines in permanent brick buildings (see below).
Our
fundraising support focus then switched to finding a more local project and
after much research we decided to support William Blake House.
William
Blake House
is a spiritually oriented community consisting of three small registered care homes,
in villages near Towcester, serving the developmental needs of 15 young adults with
severe learning disabilities and other conditions.
Unfortunately in 2016 the charity’s
first resident, Luke, died the day before his 30th birthday. It was decide to
remember Luke by raising funds to create a ‘Light Room’ – a sensory area.
As a provider of person centred care,
they have many residents who would benefit greatly from the use of a sensory
room; an area where they can relax, have the opportunity to develop their gross
motor skills, communicate, improve their engagement and reduce their
anxiety. They are fundraising to create this specially designed room for
their residents, which would combine a
range of stimuli (lights, colours, sounds, sensory soft play objects, aromas)
to help their residents develop and engage their senses, and to explore and
interact in a safe environment.
