A day at the seaside, a trip to a theme part or a visit to a petting farm is something that most young people take for granted. But for others who are disadvantaged physically, mentally, socially or financially, these are days they may never experience. Thanks to Happy Days, they can.
As well as the fun and excitement of the trip, the children benefit in terms of improved personal and educational development, improved social behaviour and enhanced self-esteem and confidence.
A trip to the pantomime at Christmas is a tradition in many families. But children with special needs are often excluded from participating at a live performance because of their profound difficulties.
We believe every child has the right to experience the magic of theatre. We provide the opportunity to experience many different types of productions - musicals, plays, opera, ballet, pantomime, ice shows and musical ensemble.
For the more seriously ill who may not be able to
travel, we can arrange for performing arts groups
to run theatre workshops at special schools. This
gives young people a chance to get involved in the
production and express their creativity freely.
From April 09 - March 10 we organised and funded
a vaiety of day and theatre for special needs schools
across the UK giving 13,335 children a very special
experience.
