Norfolk SEN Network, which fights for the rights of children with special educational needs, is facing future financial struggles after demand soared in coronavirus lockdown.
Suffolk charities are in urgent need for additional funding, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to slash fundraising platforms and bring new challenges.
It s quite the challenge for us now as we ll be relaunching the school in September and rely on giving to keep going. We are kept going by grants, funds, the kindness of individuals and charge a very small fee to our pupils. Teaching materials, expenses, they re a never-ending cost and we also provide a creche for our students who have children.
