Dear supporters and sponsors,
We would like to share with you what we did with your financial support Helping Children with Special Need to learn and connect.
Destiny Children and Family support project continues to offer weekly tutoring and creative social activities to children with special needs, giving parents and carers 4 hours of respite services per week as a short break. The project runs every Monday at Bromley URC, from 5-7pm and Wednesday’s at the Mounthfield Community Centre, Orpington from 5-7pm. These 4 hours of short break's enable parents and carers to relax while their children are learning and doing creative activities to boost their social and life skills.
Many parents and carers of children with special needs such as Autism, ADHD and other learning disabilities feel isolated with their children because of the lack of social engagement as well as affordable activities for their children. Children in particular are affected because of their complex communication needs which has an impact on their sociability, and the lack of accessible activities make them prone to loneliness and isolation. This Project has been helping to solve these issues, and we hope to continue to support many children and young people as we can to access activities, and give a break to their carers.
Every Monday and Wednesday, children aged 5-14 years receive support in reading and writing through our tutoring group. We support them in doing their school homework, and give them the opportunity to play and engage in creative social activities which improves their skills and overall well being. We continue to provide tutoring in English,
We had a lovely day coach trip to Margate beach in August, spending quality time with our Destiny children and Family Support group. We travelled together as a group of 51 people including children and their families by coach to Margate Beach, England, the kids had opportunity to play and have fun rides at Dreamland Margate which was full of fun.
This summer ,we also have Family Picnic and bouncy castle party with soft play for all children and their families. We aim to inspire and motivate disadvantaged children and families to reach beyond the limitations that their circumstances have placed upon them, and to access activities that will help them to enjoy a better quality of life.
All of this would not been possible without your donations. Thank you so much for your giving, which brought a smile to many families, making it a very memorable quality time.
Looking ahead we will continue to run our weekly tutoring and creative social activities. We are hoping to provide more educational trips and outings for this autumn. We do hope that you will continue to support us again.

We organised and went on an educational coach day trip to West Midlands Safari Park during the October half term holiday which was part funded by Daytrippers foundation. Children and families were fascinated by the range of exotic animals that they encountered along the way of the Safari drive, and enjoyed the informative talk by the ranger on board. Families were able to exchange ideas and tips, and comfort each other, while enjoying the outing trip together with their children, which in turn improve the quality of life, reduce stress. It was nice to see children and families spending good quality time together and have fun regardless of daily challenges. We ended the year 2018 by hosting our annual Christmas party for recipients of our project, for children and families to enjoy. The children sang christmas songs, were entertained by an entertainer and every child and young people received a present from Santa. All this could have not happened without your donations and thank you so much for giving a smile and a best summer holiday to many families

These 4 hours of short break give opportunity to parents and carers to have a break from their caring duties to relax while their children are learning and doing creative social activities to boost their social and life skills. Many parents and carers of children with special needs such as Autism, ADHD and other learning disabilities are isolated with their children from the local community because of the lack of social engagement and affordable activities for their children. Children are more socially affected because of their complex communication needs, and the lack of accessible clubs or activities make them prone to loneliness and isolation. This Project has been helping to solve these issues and as a result of your financial donations, children and young people can access weekly activities and at the same time give a break to their carers.
Every Monday and Wednesday of each week, children aged 5-14 years get support in reading and writing as a form of tutoring, supporting them in their school homework, giving them opportunities to play together and engaging in creative social activities to boost their learning, communication and social skills which are useful in life.

This summer, we took 50 members of Destiny Children and Family Support Group to Lego Land in Windsor as a Family Day Outing Trip by coach where children, young people and their parents spent good quality time, travel together in a group and engage with each other. Families were able to exchange ideas and tips, and comfort each other, while enjoying the outing trip together with their children, which in turn improve the quality of life, reduce stress, and enhance social interaction and communication among attendees. We received 50 free entry Tickets as donations from Merlin Magical Wands for 50 people including children and their family to enter and use the facilities at Legoland Your donations received from GlobalGiving helped us to contribute toward the cost of this trip hiring a 51 seats Coach as transport for the group to travel together from Bromley to Legoland in Windsor. In additional to the trip, we had a Family Fun Day Bouncy castle party with soft play, Group swimming and Picnics day outings this summer for all children and their families to have fun together and socialise with each others. All these activities helped children, young people and their carers to socialise and be part of the community. They felt connected and it helped disadvantaged children and families to get out from their stressful life and reach beyond their circumstances. All this could have not happened without your donations and thank you so much for giving a smile and a best summer holiday to many families

Destiny Children and Family Support Project continues to offer weekly Tutoring and creative social activities to children with special needs, which also gives a weekly 2 hour respite break to parents and carers of children with disabilities in Bromley. This 2 hour tutorial session not only provides children with the opportunity to learn whilst being taken care of by staff and volunteers, but also provides a short break to parents and carers, enabling them to have a short relaxing break from their caring duties. In addition to this project, LWFCI-UK offer inclusive sports activities giving accessible opportunities to young people with additional needs to play basketball and football after school hours and weekend to improve their wellbeing and social integration.
Every Monday children aged 5-12 years receive 1-1 support in reading and writing as a form of tutoring, as well as support with any school homework they may have. The session provides them with opportunities to play together and to engage in creative social activities, which all boost their learning, communication, and social skills, all of which are attributes needed in life.
Over the last few months, children and young people have been decorating greetings cards and note books, and learning how to make soap using different materials. They have been creating and decorating small objects, and enjoy using their imagination to create useful pieces of arts and crafts. They seem to enjoy being part of this project where they learn as well as socialise with their peers who they have become familiar with.
The children are receiving vital support to boost their learning and social skills through this project which will give them the opportunity to have brighter futures.
