Caudwell Children has pledged to provide thousands of families across the UK with essential sensory equipment for children to use at home during the Covid-19 pandemic – with each family receiving a pack of appropriate and safe toys to support children living with a wide range of disabilities.
The Get Sensory Packs campaign has been met with huge demand from parents seeking help with daily tasks including home-schooling and fitness activities while at home during the Covid restrictions.
The charity has received thousands of applications from parents in all four nations of the UK – 362 applications were from families in Northern Ireland, of which 38 came from families in Newry.
